European Union; active ingredients; agricultural products; compliance; databases; dietary exposure; food processing; humans; livestock; maximum residue limits; pesticides; physicochemical properties; risk assessment
Abstract:
... Often, agricultural commodities are not eaten raw but undergo processing operations prior to human consumption. These may significantly affect the residue levels of pesticides contained therein and/or thereon. Due to the physico-chemical properties of the residue, its concentration may decrease or increase in processed fractions compared to the initial concentration in the raw agricultural commodi ...

Abstract:
... In the past several years, intensive livestock production is an increasing focus of public criticism. Growing segments of society in many European countries have repeatedly demanded higher Farm Animal Welfare (FAW) standards. In response to this, a number of programs that sell meat from more animal friendly production systems (so called animal welfare programs) have emerged on the market in recent ...

Abstract:
... Official control samples of wheat and rye flour were analyzed for the presence of Shiga-toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) in 25 g. The detection procedure was based on enrichment in buffered peptone water and Tryptone Bile X-Glucuronide agar, followed by multiplex real-time PCR with an internal positive control. Positive samples were sub-cultured for strain isolation by a two-step procedure. ...

Therefore, the present study aimed to measure the disappearance rates of the extensively applied insecticides on date palm trees. Residues of chlorpyrifos-methyl (CPM), fipronil (FIP), and imidacloprid (IMD) insecticides in ...

Abstract:
... Homing genes encode endonucleases that make a double stranded break in the DNA, destroying a target site on the homologous chromosome. When the cell repairs the break the homing allele is copied, converting a heterozygote into a homozygote. This results in gene drive (GD), an overrepresentation of the homing allele in the next generation. GD may propel CRISPR-Cas9 genes and new genes physically co ...
