Chemistry Underlying the Behavior of Food and Agricultural Components During Industrial Manufacturing Processes and Its Implications in Quality Assurance, Food Quality, and Food Safety Management: A Systematic Review

open access: yesFood Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Industrial manufacturing processes have transformative effects on the components of food matrix. These transformations in food matrix and components have direct implications for quality assurance (QA), food quality (e.g., nutritional profile and texture), and food safety management (e.g., pathogen control and toxin mitigation). ABSTRACT This systematic

Destruction of Aflatoxin B1 with Sodium Bisulfite: Isolation of the Major Product Aflatoxin B1S

open access: yesJournal of Food Protection, 1983
The reaction between aflatoxin B1 and sodium bisulfite yielded almost quantitatively a light yellow, highly fluorescent water-soluble product, aflatoxin B1S. Reverse-phase (C18) high pressure liquid chromatography (with and without the paired-ion technique), and normal- and reverse-phase thin layer chromatography revealed the ionic product at greater ...

Immunomodulatory and Cytotoxic Properties of Enniatin B1 in Porcine Alveolar Macrophages

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the immunomodulatory effects of Enniatin B1 (ENNB1), an emerging mycotoxin, on porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs), a species‐specific model relevant to human innate immunity. PAMs were exposed to increasing ENNB1 concentrations (0.5–6 μM) over 6, 24, and 48 h.
