Aflatoxins and Other Mycotoxins: What's in Their Future?

open access: yes, 2005
As drought struck corn fields through much of southeastern Iowa in 2005, producers were reminded that mycotoxin problems, especially aflatoxins, often follow drought stress. Aflatoxins (produced by the fungi Aspergillus flavus and A.

Benzo[b]fluoranthene Induces Mutation Accumulation and Cancer‐Relevant Mutational Signatures in Mouse Lung Alongside Steady State Levels of Chromosome Damage in Blood

open access: yesEnvironmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, Volume 67, Issue 5-7, June‐August 2026.
ABSTRACT Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are well‐known for their mutagenic and carcinogenic effects. Benzo[b]fluoranthene (BbF) is one of 16 PAHs prioritized by the US Environmental Protection Agency for toxicological evaluation due to pervasive human exposure.

Development of methods for determining aflatoxins in biological material

open access: yes, 1995
In this thesis, it is shown how aflatoxins can be determined in biological material. The thesis is a summary of five papers. Aflatoxins are carcinogenic mycotoxins produced by Aspergillus moulds. Methods were developed for the determination of aflatoxins

Engineering a Hybrid Heme Pathway for Hemoprotein‐Based Dye‐Decolorizing Peroxidase in Escherichia coli

open access: yesFood Bioengineering, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 209-219, June 2026.
In this study, the heme content and enzymatic activity of the RhDypB mutant strain RhDypB‐R80 were enhanced through optimized heme uptake and pathway integration. This engineered host presents a promising platform for hemoprotein engineering and holds potential for applications in controlling mycotoxin contamination in food products.

The Effect of Food Value Chain Interventions on Food Security in Sub‐Saharan Africa: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Household participation in food value chain interventions in sub‐Saharan Africa was associated with 16‐percentage‐point lower food insecurity prevalence, higher dietary diversity, 506 kcal greater daily energy intake, USD 42 higher annual food expenditure per person, and improved child weight‐for‐age. Producer‐level benefits included USD 45 higher farm
