Effect of TBHQ (E319) food additive on the immune system
TBHQ, which is a preservative used in many processed food, has been found to harm the immune system both in both animal tests and in in vitro toxicology testing. This finding is of particular concern during the coronavirus pandemic.
Staphylococcus saprophyticus responsible for urinary tract infections has been identified as a foodborne pathogen
The meat industry may be a possible major source of S. saprophyticus, which causes human urinary tract infections (UTIs).
Mosquito vector control with new technologies
Malaria, dengue fever, Zika fever, chikungunya fever - all are zoonotic diseases dangerous to humans which are transmitted by mosquitoes. The scientific community is investing considerable effort to contain them. As they become increasingly resistant to pesticides, new technologies are being developed.
Circular economy: using waste as fertilising products
Promoting increased use of recycled nutrients would help to develop a circular economy and allow for a more resource-efficient overall use of nutrients, but attention needs to be paid to the heavy metal contamination of fertilising products.
Exposure to pesticides increases the possibility of developing resistance
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the most challenging public health issues of our time. A new study has investigated the link between exposure to pesticides and the development of antibiotic resistance.
Micro- and nanoplastics
Micro- and nanoplastics, which have become the focus of scientific interest over the past decade, are increasingly in the news.
MicroRNA in breast milk
MicroRNAs were first found in breast milk in 2010. Their role is still unclear.
Botulinum neurotoxin-like toxin identified in Enterococcus faecium strain
A novel botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) gene cluster has been identified in Enterococcus faecium strains, raising several questions about microbial interactions and antibiotic resistance.
Edible flowers
The consumption of edible flowers in Europe has increased in recent years. For many wild or cultivated flowers proposed for food use, there is remarkably little chemical and toxicological data available.
Alternaria mycotoxins in tomato products
Alternaria species are capable of producing a number of mycotoxins, several of which have been shown to be genotoxic, carcinogens. As part of the German food safety monitoring plan, the toxins produced by Alternaria in food were tested for the first time in 2019.
