Challenges of the Application of In Vitro Digestion for Nanomaterials Safety As...
Vital, Nádia; Gramacho, Ana Catarina; Silva, Mafalda; Cardoso, Maria; Alvito, Paula; Kranendonk, Michel; Silva, Maria João; Louro, HenriquetaPublisher Copyright: © 2024 by the authors.; Considering the increase in the production and use of nanomaterials (NM) in food/feed and food contact materials, novel strategies for efficient and sustainable hazard characterization, especially in the early stages of NM development, have been proposed. Some of these strategies encompass the utilization of in vitro simulated digestion prior to cytotoxic and genotox...

Food consumption data as a tool to estimate exposure to mycoestrogens
Martins, Carla; Torres, Duarte; Lopes, Carla; Correia, Daniela; Goios, Ana; Assunção, Ricardo; Alvito, Paula; Vidal, Arnau; de Boevre, MartheZearalenone and alternariol are mycotoxins produced by Fusarium and Alternaria species, respectively, that present estrogenic activity and consequently are classified as endocrine disruptors. To estimate the exposure of the Portuguese population to these two mycotoxins at a national level, a modelling approach, based on data from 94 Portuguese volunteers, was developed considering as inputs: i) the food consump...
