The popularity of herbal products is growing intensely as a result of an ageing population, an increase in interest in healthy lifestyles and fashions for products of natural origin. The quality of herbal products from domestic production and imports does not guarantee consumer safety. Scientific studies of spice and medicinal herbs have shown contamination by pathogenic micro-organisms and eggs of dangerous parasites and accumulation of heavy metals. Checking the purity of herbal mixtures, fruit teas, herbal and functional teas, spice herbs and dietary supplements before placing them on the market is not mandatory. The aim of the project is to develop its own methods of analysis of the purity of herbal products in terms of the presence of parasites (tapeworms, nematodes, restorations), pathogenic microorganisms (bacteria and fungi), mycotoxins, pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dioxins and heavy metals, which pose a serious risk to the health and life of consumers. The research will allow to expand BIOMIBO’s existing activities to provide services for a target group composed of business customers (manufacturers, sellers, importers of herbal products), as well as individuals (so-called consumers aware). Project stages and implementation methods: 1. Development of methods of isolation from herbal products and species identification of bacteria, fungi and parasites, 2. study the impact of all commercially available mycotoxins on human cells in vitro, 3. develop own and adapt existing methods of extraction and determination of mycotoxins, pesticides, PAH, PCB, dioxins for herbal products, 4. development of methods of mineralisation of samples and determination of the content of heavy metals in herbal products.

Popularność produktów zielarskich intensywnie rośnie w wyniku starzenia się społeczeństwa, wzrostu zainteresowania zdrowym stylem życia i mody na produkty pochodzenia naturalnego. Jakość produktów zielarskich pochodzących z produkcji rodzimej oraz importu nie gwarantuje bezpieczeństwa konsumentom. Badania naukowe ziół przyprawowych i leczniczych wykazały zanieczyszczenia patogennymi mikroorganizmami i jajami niebezpiecznych pasożytów oraz kumulację metali ciężkich. Sprawdzanie czystości mieszanek ziołowych, herbatek owocowych, ziołowych i funkcjonalnych, ziół przyprawowych oraz suplementów diety przed wprowadzeniem ich na rynek nie jest obligatoryjne. Celem projektu jest opracowanie własnych metod kompleksowej analizy czystości produktów zielarskich pod względem obecności w nich pasożytów (tasiemców, nicieni, przywr), patogennych mikroorganizmów (bakterii i grzybów), mikotoksyn, pestycydów, wielopierścieniowych węglowodorów aromatycznych (WWA), polichlorowanych bifenyli (PCB), dioksyn oraz metali ciężkich, stanowiących poważne zagrożenie dla zdrowia i życia konsumentów. Badania pozwolą na poszerzenie dotychczasowej działalności BIOMIBO o wykonywanie usług dla grupy docelowej złożonej z klientów biznesowych (producentów, sprzedawców, importerów produktów zielarskich), jak również osób fizycznych (tzw. świadomych konsumentów). Etapy projektu i sposoby realizacji: 1. opracowanie metod izolacji z produktów zielarskich oraz identyfikacji gatunkowej bakterii, grzybów i pasożytów, 2. zbadanie wpływu wszystkich dostępnych komercyjnie mikotoksyn na komórki ludzkie in vitro, 3. opracowanie własnych i zaadaptowanie istniejących metod ekstrakcji i oznaczania mikotoksyn, pestycydów, WWA, PCB, dioksyn do produktów zielarskich, 4. opracowanie metod mineralizacji próbek i oznaczania zawartości metali ciężkich w produktach zielarskich, 5. stworzenie testu diagnostycznego do wykrywania w żywności DNA pasożytów (prace nowatorskie w skali światowej).

The popularity of herbal products is growing intensely as a result of an ageing population, an increase in interest in healthy lifestyles and fashions for products of natural origin. The quality of herbal products from domestic production and imports does not guarantee consumer safety. Scientific studies of spice and medicinal herbs have shown contamination by pathogenic micro-organisms and eggs of dangerous parasites and accumulation of heavy metals. Checking the purity of herbal mixtures, fruit teas, herbal and functional teas, spice herbs and dietary supplements before placing them on the market is not mandatory.
