Risk Assessment And Regulation Of Bacteriophage As A New Food Antimicrobial Agent, Lin Wei, Juan-Juan Sun Feb 2023

Risk Assessment And Regulation Of Bacteriophage As A New Food Antimicrobial Agent, Lin Wei, Juan-Juan Sun

Food and Machinery

Based on the theory of modern risk regulation and the existing research results at home and abroad, this paper discusses the bacteriophage as a kind of food antimicrobial agent from the perspective of risk assessment and risk regulation. In previous studies on risk assessment, no obvious adverse effects and side effects of phages on the environment, animals and human body were found. As an antibacterial agent, bacteriophage has shown good antibacterial effects in fruits and vegetables, meat, dairy products and seafood, with a very broad application prospect. However, while complying with the application research trend of bacteriophage food antimicrobial agents, …


Residue And Dietary Risk Assessment Of Quizalofop-P-Ethyl Andits Metabolites In Adzuki Bean, Qu Jiang-Ling, Tang Hua-Cheng, Cao Dong-Mei May 2020

Residue And Dietary Risk Assessment Of Quizalofop-P-Ethyl Andits Metabolites In Adzuki Bean, Qu Jiang-Ling, Tang Hua-Cheng, Cao Dong-Mei

Food and Machinery

In order to evaluate the long-term and short-term dietary intake risk of quizalofop-p-ethyl and quizalofop-p-acid in adzuki bean, the final residue of them was determined. Using the application concentration of 0.3~0.6 mL/m2, the application frequency of 2~3 times with various picking intervals, the residue of quizalofop-p-ethyl in adzuki bean was 0.03~1.07 mg/kg, and that of quizalofop-p-acid was 0.05~1.20 mg/kg. The long-term dietary intake risk quotient (RQc) and short-term dietary intake risk quotient (RQa) were 1.98%~19.70% and 0.50%~1.30%, respectively.

Worldwide, the area planted in genetically modified (GM) crops has increased dramatically in recent years. Between 1996 and 1999, it rose from 1.6 X 106 ha to more than 35 X 106 ha (James 1998, May 1999). This rapid increase has provoked an explosion of concern, particularly in Europe, over the health and environmental impacts of these crops. Despite claims of safety and warnings against popular panic, public concern over GM crops has resulted in changes in their marketing, labeling, planting, and trade. These changes have fueled an increasingly heated debate among environmental advocates, critics of industrial agriculture, …
