Microplastics in the Food Chain [PDF]
Life, 2021 Currently, microplastics represent a widespread contamination found in almost every part of the environment. The plastic industry has generated waste since the 1950s, which unfortunately now counts in the millions. The largest share of plastic consumption is used to produce packaging materials, including those applied in the food industry.

Scientific Opinion on the presence of dioxins (PCDD/Fs) and dioxin-like PCBs (DL-PCBs) in commercially available foods for infants and young children [PDF]
EFSA Journal, 2012 EFSA was asked by the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) to deliver a scientific opinion on the presence of dioxins and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (DL-PCBs) in commercially available foods for infants and young children.

Aggregation methods in food chains
Mathematical and Computer Modelling, 1998 The aim of this paper is to apply aggregation methods to food chains under batch and chemostat conditions. These predator-prey systems are modelled using ODEs, one for each trophic level. Because the models are based on mass conservation laws, they are conservative and this allows perfect aggregation.

Remarks on food chain dynamics [PDF]
Mathematical Biosciences, 1996 The main modes of behavior of a food chain model composed of logistic prey and Holling type II predator and superpredator are discussed in this paper. The study is carried out through bifurcation analysis, alternating between a normal form approach and numerical continuation.

Food Supply Chain Management using Block chain in Food Traceability
International Journal of Engineering and Advanced Technology, 2020 A blockchain enlivened web of-things design for making a straightforward food flexibly chain. The engineering utilizes a proof-of-object based validation convention, which is undifferentiated from the cryptographic money's evidence of-work convention.

Stability trophic cascades in food chains [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 While previous studies have evaluated the change in stability for the addition or removal of individual species from trophic food chains and food webs, we know of no study that presents a general theory for how stability changes with the addition or removal of trophic levels.

Antimicrobial resistance and the food chain [PDF]
Journal of Applied Microbiology, 2002 The extent to which antibiotics given to animals contribute to the overall problem of antibiotic resistance in man is still uncertain. The development of resistance in some human pathogens, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and multi-drug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is linked to the use of antimicrobials in man and there is ...
