Re‐evaluation of butane (E 943a), isobutane (E 943b) and propane (E 944) as foo...
EFSA Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings; Castle, Laurence; Andreassen, Monica; Aquilina, Gabriele; Bastos, Maria; Boon, Polly; Fallico, BiagioThe Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings (FAF) provides a scientific opinion re‐evaluating the safety of butane (E 943a), isobutane (E 943b) and propane (E 944) as food additives. Butane, isobutane and propane are short‐chain (C3–C4) alkanes, which are in gaseous state at room temperature. Their currently permitted use in food is in vegetable oil pan spray (for professional use only) and water‐based emulsion...
Flavouring group evaluation 418 (FGE. 418): 3‐[3‐(2‐isopropyl‐5‐methyl‐cyclohex...
EFSA Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings (FAF); Castle, Laurence; Andreassen, Monica; Aquilina, Gabriele; Bastos, Maria; Boon, PollyThe EFSA Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings (FAF) was requested to evaluate the safety of 3‐[3‐(2‐isopropyl‐5‐methyl‐cyclohexyl)‐ureido]‐butyric acid ethyl ester [FL‐no: 16.136] as a new flavouring substance, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008. The substance has not been reported to occur naturally and it is chemically synthesised. The information provided on the manufacturing process, the com...
Flavouring group evaluation 420 (FGE.420): Hesperetin dihydrochalcone
Castle, Laurence; Andreassen, Monica; Aquilina, Gabriele; Bastos, Maria; Boon, Polly; Fallico, Biagio; FitzGerald, ReginaldThe EFSA Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings (FAF) was requested to evaluate the safety of hesperetin dihydrochalcone [FL-no: 16.137] as a new flavouring substance, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008. The substance is structurally related to the group of flavonoids evaluated in FGE.32 and is the aglycone of neohesperidine dihydrochalcone. Based on the data provided for [FL-no: 16.137], the Pane...
Os guardiões da horta
Oliveira, Ana João; Dias, Hugo Direito; Nobre, Alexandra; Figueiredo, Letícia; Araújo, Margarida; Bastos, Maria; Coelho, Patrícia; Pinto, Rafael“Os Guardiões da Horta” consiste num conjunto de oficinais mensais (ano letivo 22/23) desenhadas, montadas e dinamizados por STOL-Science Through Our Lives/Dep. Biologia-UMinho (STOL) e que vão ao encontro do interesse do Colégio D. Pedro V (DPV) em explorar a sua horta de um modo consistente, investigativo e com aquisição prática de conhecimentos enunciados nas aprendizagens essenciais do 1º Ciclo. Todas as of...
Predictive validity of the YLS/CMI in a sample of Portuguese young offenders
Gouveia, Cláudia; Fernandes, Delfina; Pratas, Miguel; Macedo, Margarida; Cóias, João; Pral, Catarina; Pinto, Renata; Bastos, Maria; Bento, AnaThe Youth Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (YLS/CMI) is a widely used risk assessment instrument that comprehensively assesses risk factors and criminogenic needs among young individuals. This study explores the association between YLS/CMI scores and subsequent recidivism among 608 Portuguese young offenders aged 12 to 18 years. The results support the predictive validity of the YLS/CMI in assessing r...
Re‐evaluation of argon (E 938) and helium (E 939) as food additives
EFSA FAF Panel (EFSA Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings); Castle, Laurence; Andreassen, Monica; Aquilina, Gabriele; Bastos, Maria; Boon, PollyThe Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings (FAF) provides a scientific opinion re-evaluating the safety of the two food additives argon (E 938) and helium (E 939). Argon (Ar) and helium (He) are two noble gases, highly stable single atoms. Their chemical inertness is well known. Their physicochemical properties have served as a basis for their previous evaluations by SCF and JECFA, which have considered the us...

GC-MS metabolomics reveals distinct profiles of low- and high-grade bladder can...
Rodrigues, Daniela; Pinto, Joana; Araújo, Ana; Jerónimo, Carmen; Henrique, Rui; Bastos, Maria; Guedes de Pinho, Paula; Carvalho, MárciaPrevious studies have shown that metabolomics can be a useful tool to better understand the mechanisms of carcinogenesis; however, alterations in biochemical pathways that lead to bladder cancer (BC) development have hitherto not been fully investigated. In this study, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)-based metabolomics was applied to unveil the metabolic alterations between low-grade and high-grade...
GC-MS-based endometabolome analysis differentiates prostate cancer from normal ...
Lima, Ana; Araújo, Ana; Pinto, Joana; Jerónimo, Carmen; Henrique, Rui; Bastos, Maria; Carvalho, Márcia; Guedes de Pinho, PaulaProstate cancer (PCa) is an important health problem worldwide. Diagnosis and management of PCa is very complex because the detection of serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) has several drawbacks. Metabolomics brings promise for cancer biomarker discovery and for better understanding PCa biochemistry. In this study, a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) based metabolomic profiling of PCa cell lines wa...
