Analysis of usage patterns and probabilistic risk assessment of personal care products in Korea
In daily life, many people use large amounts of personal care products (PCPs) on a regular basis. For determining the risk to consumers, product usage amount, frequency of use, and co-use patterns are essential information. In this study, the PCP usage patterns of Korean consumers were analyzed, and the data were used to develop a […]
Use of CARES NG to Conduct a Cumulative Dietary Exposure Assessment for Chlorotriazine Compounds: A Case Study
Estimation of dietary exposures to pesticide residues in agricultural and livestock commodities is critical in regulating the safe use of pesticide products. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has long used the Dietary Exposure Evaluation Model-Food Commodity Intake Database (DEEM-FCID or DEEM) successfully for such purposes. Increasingly complex assessments may sometimes be desired. A particular […]
Microbial Risk Ranking as “a web-based decision support system” tool [Conference Paper]
WHO estimates that more than 23 million people fall ill from eating contaminated food with bacteria, viruses, and parasitic protozoa in the European region every year, resulting in 4,654 deaths and more than 400,000 DALYs. Reducing these numbers has proven challenging because of the complex European food supply chain system and thousands of firms that […]
The impact of food industry reformulation, innovation and consumer preference on dietary intakes in Ireland: a probabilistic intake model
Strong evidence exists linking poor diet to increased risk of overweight, obesity and non-communicable diseases. Reformulation initiatives, whereby the food industry gradually reduces energy, sodium, sugar, fat and saturated fat content of their products, are identified as important strategies to improve dietary intakes. The analysis aimed to examine the impact of voluntary reformulation, changes to […]
Read-across and new approach methodologies applied in a 10-step framework for cosmetics safety assessment – A case study with parabens
Parabens are esters of para-hydroxybenzoic acid that have been used as preservatives in many types of products for decades including agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, food and cosmetics. This illustrative case study with propylparaben (PP) demonstrates a 10-step read-across (RAX) framework in practice. It aims at establishing a proof-of-concept for the value added by new approach methodologies (NAMs) […]
16S rRNA Based Profiling of Bacterial Communities Colonizing Bakery-Production Environments
Conventional culture-based techniques are largely inadequate in elucidating the microbiota contained in an environment, due to low recovery within a complex bacterial community. This limitation has been mitigated by the use of next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based approaches thereby facilitating the identification and classification of both culturable and uncultivable microorganisms. Amplicon targeted NGS methods, such as 16S […]
Contribution of base diet,voluntary fortified foods and supplements to micronutrient intakes in the UK
The objective of the present study was to evaluate the contribution of voluntary fortified foods and supplements to reducing micronutrient shortfalls in the UK population. A secondary analysis of the UK National Diet and Nutrition Survey was conducted (2012/13–2013/14, N 2546, 1·5–95 years). Micronutrient intakes were derived from food consumption intake data and food composition […]
