Evaluating the combined toxicity of Penicillium mycotoxins in absorption, metabolism, and excretion systems

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Penicillium mycotoxins, including ochratoxin A (OTA), citrinin (CIT), and cyclopiazonic acid (CPZ), frequently co‐occur in food commodities, contributing to chronic low‐level dietary exposure. However, current risk assessments often consider these toxins individually, overlooking potential interaction effects.
