Hazard characterization of the mycotoxins enniatins and beauvericin to identify...
Behr, Anne-Cathrin; Fæste, Christiane Kruse; Azqueta, Amaya; Tavares, Ana M.; Spyropoulou, Anastasia; Solhaug, Anita; Olsen, Ann-KarinEnniatins (ENNs) and beauvericin (BEA) are cyclic hexadepsipeptide fungal metabolites which have demonstrated antibiotic, antimycotic, and insecticidal activities. The substantial toxic potentials of these mycotoxins are associated with their ionophoric molecular properties and relatively high lipophilicities. ENNs occur extensively in grain and grain-derived products and are considered a food safety issue by t...
A critical review to identify data gaps and improve risk assessment of bispheno...
Mhaouty-Kodja, Sakina; Zalko, Daniel; Tait, Sabrina; Testai, Emanuela; Viguié, Catherine; Corsini, Emanuela; Grova, Nathalie; Buratti, Franca MariaBisphenol A (BPA), a synthetic chemical widely used in the production of polycarbonate plastic and epoxy resins, has been associated with a variety of adverse effects in humans including metabolic, immunological, reproductive, and neurodevelopmental effects, raising concern about its health impact. In the EU, it has been classified as toxic to reproduction and as an endocrine disruptor and was thus included in ...
Hazard assessment of bisphenol A alternatives to close data gaps of concern for...
Aiello Holden, Kiara; Tait, Sabrina; Viguié, Catherine; Mhaouty-Kodja, Sakina; Corsini, Emanuela; Silva, Maria João; Zalko, Daniel; Testai, EmanuelaWHY? With the upcoming restrictions on BPA, BPA alternatives’ tonnages and frequencies of use are expected to severely increase in the coming years. Therefore, this project aims to fill the identified data gaps, providing a complete data set for at least four relevant BPA alternatives identified in an ad hoc Workshop together with ECHA and EFSA. We will fill the knowledge gaps on human health on five toxicologi...
