Innovative approaches of confirmatory
DetailsDate : 11th August 2022 Venue : Mumbai Melamine has been used to adulterate foodstuffs including milk and dairy products, to artificially elevate apparent protein content. Dicyandiamide is used to promote the growth of pastures where cows graze and has been detected in milk powders. This provides motivation for food adulteration for enhanced profits at
DetailsA Novel LC/MS/MS method with dual ESI and APCI source was developed for analysis of 105 pesticides and 5 mycotoxins regulated by different USA states and Canada in hemp. We would demonstrate how we measured non-polar pesticides (normally analyzed by GC/MS/MS) such as quintozene, chlordane, etridiazole, fenvalerate, iprodione, chlorfenapyr, methyl parathion, endosulfan and others using
DetailsMycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by certain filamentous fungi (molds). They can enter our food chain either directly from food components contaminated with mycotoxins or by indirect contamination from the growth of toxigenic fungi on food. Consumption of mycotoxin-contaminated food or feed can cause acute or chronic toxicity in human and animals. Thus
DetailsPharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are gathering increased attention as their presence in wastewater effluents, surface as well as drinking water is elucidated. Because pharmaceuticals and many personal care products are intended to illicit a biological response by design, their presence in aquatic environment even in very low concentration is a matter of
DetailsMicrobiological testing is carried out for food and feed samples, to determine the quality and safety of the product. In microbiological analysis the result is obtained by counting individual live organisms which are rarely distributed randomly in a food matrix. It is due to these reasons that, there is an uncontrollable ‘variation without a
DetailsThe Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) system classifies risks to consumers into three categories—biological, chemical, and physical—and it emphasizes preventing, reducing, or eliminating high-risk biological hazards. Food safety professionals, as a result of years of education, experience, and audits to the HACCP system, often relegate physical hazards to lower risk status, primarily controlled
DetailsThere is growing focus of regulatory agencies across globe to tackle issues related to food safety. Microbiological food safety being an integral part of this wheel, it becomes of prime importance to understand and learn microbiological parameters and controls placed by regulatory agencies in US, EU & key countries in APAC. These learnings will
DetailsThe ability to rapidly detect viable pathogens in food is important for public health and food safety reasons. Culture-based detection methods tend to be laborious, time consuming and slow to provide results. Several culture-independent methods to detect viable pathogens have been reported in recent years, including both ELISA and PCR. Some of these newer methods,
