#analyticalchemistry news In the ever-evolving field of #chemistry, the latest research offers a fascinating glimpse into a cutting-edge method for monitoring pesticide residues in food. The study, "Ag-coated tetrapod gold nanostars, Au@AgNSs, for acetamiprid determination in tea using SERS combined with microfluidics," published in Analytical Methods, showcases a novel approach combining Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering, SERS, with microfluidic technology to detect acetamiprid—a common pesticide—in tea. Acetamiprid, utilised extensively to protect crops, can pose health risks if residues remain on food products. This research introduces Ag-coated tetrapod gold nanostars, Au@AgNSs, as an innovative detection tool. The unique structure of these nanostars significantly enhances the sensitivity of SERS, allowing for ultrafast and precise measurement of acetamiprid residues. By integrating SERS with microfluidics, the researchers developed a streamlined and efficient system that ensures high sensitivity while utilising minimal sample volumes. This technology marks a significant advancement in the field, promising a robust, rapid, and reliable method for safeguarding the quality of our food. The practical impact of this work is immense. For consumers, it offers the promise of safer food products with traceable pesticide levels. For producers, it facilitates adherence to safety regulations, potentially reducing health risks associated with pesticide exposure. Innovations like these demonstrate how advancements in #analyticalmethods can directly contribute to enhancing public health standards and food safety. #pesticide #foodquality #innovative #science #research #foodtechnology #healthstandards #analyticalmethods, If you want to know more about #analyticalchemistry news, follow me: https://lnkd.in/d29pbjb9

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), FDA and USDA have published an ambitious plan for improving regulation of biotechnology products which promises, among many other items: •   More information sharing between agencies •   Clarification of regulations for genome edited plants to ensure the requirements are proportional to the actual risks. •   More procedural guidance and faster response for participants in FDA’s voluntary consultation program - helping stakeholders understand food safety and leading to higher quality submissions. •   Accelerated rulemaking on which foods should be defined as bioengineered foods. •   Clarification on which modified microorganisms are subject to regulation. •   A promise of new guidance for labeling cultured meat and poultry products within 2024. #riskanalysis #sustainablematerials #culturedmeat #foodtech #sustainability #futureoffood https://lnkd.in/g9ugs_Y6

Growing Adoption of ePhyto: Industry Meetings in Geneva In late June, Europatat attended the annual meeting of the ePhyto Industry Advisory Group (IAG) in Geneva. This forum serves as a valuable platform to discuss the latest advancements in electronic phytosanitary certification (ePhyto) and its role in facilitating global trade. One of the presentations included a current study outlining the economic benefits of transitioning from paper to electronic certification. This study will be published soon. Read on to learn more about the ePhyto solution and the list of countries that are now utilizing it. Advancing Global Trade with ePhyto ePhyto, short for “electronic phytosanitary certificate,” is the digital equivalent of a traditional phytosanitary certificate, presented in XML format. An ePhyto contains all the information of a paper certificate and is produced according to ISPM 12 standards, including Appendix 1. The IPPC ePhyto Solution comprises three main components: Benefits of Transitioning to ePhyto The ongoing study presented at the IAG meeting highlights several economic benefits of ePhyto adoption: Global Overview and Future Directions The IAG meeting coincided with the World Trade Organiza... https://lnkd.in/eQBGtPzd

Nutropy's CEO Nathalie Rolland had the honor of presenting our innovations to a delegation from the Netherlands during their recent visit to Genopole in April. The delegation, consisting of around twenty companies and researchers in the alternative protein sector, provided a valuable opportunity to showcase our fermentation technology to develop the next-generation of cheese & dairy alternatives. This event was an ideal time for us to reinforce our collaborations with this pioneering country in the field of alternative proteins.
