  11. Simple Pretreatment and Portable UV-Vis Spectrum Instrument for the Rapid Detection of Melamine in Milk Products

    • Journal of Food Quality

    • In this paperwe report a simple and reliable method for detection of melamine (MEL) in the field of milk products safety screening. This method is developed based on gold nanoparticle (AuNP) probe as the presence of MEL can induce the AuNPs to aggregate and make its color change from wine red to purple. This color change can be quantitatively recorded by a portable UV-vis spectrophotometer so as to calculate the amount of MEL simultaneously.

  13. The Fate of Organophosphorus Pesticides during Camellia Oil Production

    • Journal of Food Science

    • The purpose of this study was to investigate the fate of organophosphorus pesticidesOPs) during camellia oil production process, from camellia fruit to the final oil product. The results showed that the OPs were mainly distributed in the peel of camellia fruit, basically above 40% after the pesticide application of 7 d (P < 0.05). A small amount of OPs could enter into the seed and convert to crude camellia oil, with the concentration of 19.5 to 548.2 mg/L.

  14. Three Peptide Modulators of the Human Voltage-Gated Sodium Channel 1.7, an Important Analgesic Target, from the Venom of an Australian Tarantula

    • Toxins

    • Voltage-gated sodium (NaV) channels are responsible for propagating action potentials in excitable cells. NaV1.7 plays a crucial role in the human pain signalling pathway and it is an important therapeutic target for treatment of chronic pain. Numerous spider venom peptides have been shown to modulate the activity of NaV channels and these peptides represent a rich source of research tools and therapeutic lead molecules.

  18. Ancient Venom Systems: A Review on Cnidaria Toxins

    • Toxins

    • Cnidarians are the oldest extant lineage of venomous animals. Despite their simple anatomy, they are capable of subduing or repelling prey and predator species that are far more complex and recently evolved. Utilizing specialized penetrating nematocysts, cnidarians inject the nematocyst content or “venom” that initiates toxic and immunological reactions in the envenomated organism. These venoms contain enzymes, potent pore forming toxins, and neurotoxins.

  20. A Quick Detection of Melamine Adulteration in Milk and Dairy Products Using First-Order Multivariate Calibration

    • Journal of Food Processing and Preservation

    • In this worka reasonable substitute with laborious and expensive liquid chromatography for quick melamine detection in milk and dairy products is outlined. To accomplish this aim, first-order multivariate calibration methods including partial least squares (PLS) and net analyte preprocessing-partial least squares (NAP/PLS) are adopted for melamine quantification in complex food extracts down to 0.07 mg/kg without the need for efficient sample clean up.

  24. Influence of Low-Level Prenatal Exposure to PCDD/Fs and PCBs on Empathizing, Systemizing and Autistic Traits: Results from the Duisburg Birth Cohort Study

    • PLOS ONE

    • Nikola Nowack, Jürgen Wittsiepe, Monika Kasper-Sonnenberg, Michael Wilhelm, Axel Schölmerich

      Background

      Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are assumed to act as endocrine disruptor chemicals. Prenatal exposure to these pollutants might influence fetal steroid hormone levels, which are thought to be related to sex-typical development and autistic traits.
