Prediction of tissue composition of live dairy calves and carcasses by computed tomography
(Elsevier, 2020-12-13)
Computed tomography (CT) is a non-destructive technique, based on X-rays, that has been used in several livestock species to evaluate carcass composition. The objective of this study was to construct ...
Update of the list of QPS‐recommended biological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 12: suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until March 2020
(Wiley Open Access, 2020-07-02)
The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) was developed to provide a generic safety evaluation for biological agents to support EFSA's Scientific Panels. It is based on an assessment of the taxonomic ...
Potential BSE risk posed by the use of ruminant collagen and gelatine in feed for non‐ruminant farmed animals
(Wiley Open Access, 2020-10-28)
EFSA was requested to estimate the cattle bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) risk (C‐, L‐ and H‐BSE) posed by ruminant collagen and gelatine produced from raw material fit for human consumption, or ...
The use of the so‐called ‘tubs’ for transporting and storing fresh fishery products
(Wiley Open Access, 2020-04-29)
On‐land transport/storage of fresh fishery products (FFP) for up to 3 days in ‘tubs’ of three‐layered poly‐ethylene filled with freshwater and ice was compared to the currently authorised practice (fish ...
The public health risk posed by Listeria monocytogenes in frozen fruit and vegetables including herbs, blanched during processing
(Wiley Open Access, 2020-04-20)
A multi‐country outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes ST6 linked to blanched frozen vegetables (bfV) took place in the EU (2015–2018). Evidence of food‐borne outbreaks shows that L. monocytogenes is the ...
Chemical markers to distinguish the homoand heterozygous bitter genotype in sweet almond kernels
(MDPI, 2020-06-05)
Bitterness in almonds is controlled by a single gene (Sk dominant for sweet kernel, sk recessive for bitter kernel) and the proportions of the offspring genotypes (SkSk, Sksk, sksk) depend on the ...
Fatty acid composition and parasitism of European sardine (Sardina pilchardus) and anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) populations in the northern Catalan Sea in the context of changing environmental conditions
(Society for Experimental Biology, 2020-12-29)
The status of sardine and anchovy populations in the northern Mediterranean Sea has been declining in recent decades. In this study, fatty acids and parasitism at different reproductive and feeding ...
Pathogenicity assessment of Shiga toxin‐producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and the public health risk posed by contamination of food with STEC
(Wiley Open Access, 2020-01-29)
The provisional molecular approach, proposed by EFSA in 2013, for the pathogenicity assessment of Shiga toxin‐producing Escherichia coli (STEC) has been reviewed. Analysis of the confirmed reported human ...
Conservation of native wild ivory-white olives from the MEDES islands natural reserve to maintain virgin olive oil diversity
(MDPI, 2020-10-17)
Food diversity, and in particular genetic diversity, is being lost at an alarming rate. Protection
of natural areas is crucial to safeguard the world’s threatened species. The Medes Islands (MI), ...
Understanding How Microorganisms Respond to Acid pH Is Central to Their Control and Successful Exploitation
(Frontiers Media, 2020-09-24)
Microbes from the three domains of life, Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya, share the need to sense and respond to changes in the external and internal concentrations of protons. When the proton concentration ...
