In vitro Exposure Assessment of Nanomaterials via Food/Feed (EFSA)

LAUS could support you with studies simulating physiological conditions in the gastrointestinal tract required by EFSA for exposure assessment of nanomaterials via food/feed . A short simulation of mouth conditions, followed by a gastric phase at pH 3 for 2 h and an intestinal phase at pH 7 for 2 h in a static set-up helps to evaluate the degradation rate in food/feed matrix or GI fluids. It provides information for the “risk assessment of the application of nanoscience and nanotechnologies in the food and feed chain” (EFSA Journal 2018;16(7):5327).
