natural stimulants (alcohol, tobacco).
· Food contaminants
Residues. Substances generated by food conditioning/preparation ("cooked
food mutagens")
· Food additives
· Metabolism of substances, toxicological testing
· Acute effects
· Chronic effects
Multistage concept of carcinogenesis, action of genotoxic and non-genotoxic
substances. Concepts for derivation of limit values for food, EC-positive list of
flavouring substances.
· Case(substance) studies:
Bacterial toxins, mycotoxins, saccharin, dioxins, PAH, nitrate/nitrite,
nitrosamines, acrylamide, heterocyclic amines, hormone-active substances
("endocrine-disruptors"), flavouring substances, metals.
