  17. Ochratoxin A Dietary Exposure of Ten Population Groups in the Czech Republic: Comparison with Data over the World

    • Toxins

    • Ochratoxin A is a nephrotoxic and renal carcinogenic mycotoxin and is a common contaminant of various food commodities. Eighty six kinds of foodstuffs (1032 food samples) were collected in 2011–2013. High-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection was used for ochratoxin A determination. Limit of quantification of the method varied between 0.01–0.2 μg/kg depending on the food matrices. The most exposed population is children aged 4–6 years old.

    • Journal of Food Processing and Preservation

    • Modification of pH and combined use of novel processing methods may be a good strategy to improve the quality of canned vegetablesIn this study, selected thermal (TP) and high pressure-assisted thermal (HP-T) processing methods were validated for citric acid-infused carrots (pH ≤ 4.5) using Bacillus licheniformis spores. Previously established thermal inactivation kinetics data were used to setup the target process times (to achieve 7-log kill of B. licheniformis).

    • Journal of Food Safety

    • Milk and cheese contaminated with Prototheca sp. have zoonotic importance and constitute public health significance to the consumers. In this study, a total of 300 random raw milk and cheese samples were collected from Qena city markets, Egypt, to detect Prototheca sp. Fifty-five of the total 58 isolates of Prototheca were isolated from raw milk and cheese, respectively. The isolates were identified conventionally and microscopically.
