Scientific opinion on the renewal of the authorisation of Fumokomp (SF-009) as a smoke flavouring Primary Product.

The EFSA Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings (FAF) was requested to evaluate the safety of the smoke flavouring Primary Product Fumokomp (SF-009), for which a renewal application was submitted in accordance with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2065/2003 (in the renewal application the Primary Product is reported as 'Fumokomp Conc.'). This opinion refers to an assessment of data submitted on chemical characterisation, dietary exposure and genotoxicity of the Primary Product.

Scientific opinion on the renewal of the authorisation of Scansmoke SEF7525 (SF-004) as a smoke flavouring Primary Product.

The EFSA Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings (FAF) was requested to evaluate the safety of the smoke flavouring Primary Product Scansmoke SEF7525 (SF-004), for which a renewal application was submitted in accordance with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2065/2003. This opinion refers to the assessment of data submitted on chemical characterisation, dietary exposure and genotoxicity of the Primary Product. Scansmoke SEF7525 is obtained from a tar produced from a mixture of red oak, white oak, maple, beech and hickory.

Machine learning - based q-RASAR modeling to predict acute contact toxicity of binary organic pesticide mixtures in honey bees.

We have reported here a quantitative read-across structure-activity relationship (q-RASAR) model for the prediction of binary mixture toxicity (acute contact toxicity) in honey bees. Both the quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) and the similarity-based read-across algorithms are used simultaneously for enhancing the predictability of the model. Several similarity and error-based parameters, obtained from the read-across prediction tool, have been put together with the structural and physicochemical descriptors to develop the final q-RASAR model.
