Abstract

Samples of polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene foils, softened polyvinyl chloride foils and laminates, in which polyethylene or EVA copolymer or SULRYN ionomer formed the inner layer were subjected to tests for determination of the global migration to aqueous fluids using model methods: chamber test, bag test, immersion test and lining test. The tested materials comprised 37 samples of packaging materials. The tested samples were not exceeding the range of permitted global migration into aqueous model fluids as recommended by the EEC directives. The obtained results fell significantly below the accepted limit of 10 mg/dm2.

PdIr bimetallic nanozyme engineered metal-organic frameworks integrated dual-mode sensor toward Stx2 detection in food.

Shiga toxin II (Stx2) has attracted extensive attention due to its toxicity and pathogenicity, making the development of sensitive detection methods urgent. This study constructed a dual-mode sensing platform for the sensitive detection of Stx2 in food. Composite material UIO-66@PdIr with peroxidase-like activity and fluorescent properties was synthesized and combined with cDNA as the signal probe, while aptamer-modified magnetic beads served as the capture probe. Specific binding of Stx2 to the aptamer triggered the release of the signal probe, enabling colorimetric and fluorescence signal readout. The colorimetric mode showed a linear range of 0.05-100 ng/mL with an LOD of 0.039 ng/mL, and the fluorescence mode exhibited 0.01-1000 ng/mL with an LOD of 0.0097 ng/mL. Additionally, this method was successfully applied to the detection of Stx2 in food, and the recovery rates were 94.33% ∼ 102.20%. It indicated that the constructed sensor holds great practical potential for Stx2 detection.

Contamination of pine nuts by fumonisin produced by strains of Fusarium proliferatum isolated from Pinus pinea.

AIMS: To test the ability of Fusarium proliferatum strains isolated from Pinus pinea to synthesize fumonisin B(1) (FB(1)) in pine nuts. METHOD AND RESULTS: Eleven strains were inoculated in moist sterile shelled pine nuts and whole pine nuts, and incubated for 28 days. Moist sterile maize was inoculated in parallel as an optimum substrate for FB(1) production by Fusarium species. CONCLUSIONS: Six of the strains produced FB(1) in shelled pine nuts, and two of them did so in whole pine nuts. IMPACT AND SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY: F. proliferatum is able to grow and produce FB(1) in the husk of pine nuts and the mycotoxin can be found in the nut once shelled. Consequently, FB(1) may be an important hazard in pine nuts.
