Microbiological Characterization of Baru Nuts From the Cerrado Biome, Brazil
ABSTRACT This study aimed to microbiologically characterize baru nuts, a seed widely consumed in Brazil with growing relevance in the export market. Analyses were conducted for mesophilic and thermophilic aerobic spore‐forming bacteria, total mesophilic aerobes, Enterobacteriaceae, Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus, lactic acid bacteria, molds, and ...

Abstract Mycotoxins (mould toxins) are secondary metabolites of moulds. They are natural toxins whose occurrence in food and feed is undesirable but cannot be completely avoided. Mycotoxins may occur as contaminants in plant products and raw materials such as grains, nuts and almonds if they are infested with mould during cultivation, storage or ...

Mycotoxin toxicity depends on species, exposure time, age, sex, health and possible synergistic effects of other mycotoxins present in feed. In poultry, aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and fumonisin B1 (FB1) are associated with poor growth performance, lowered feed ...

The food contaminant deoxynivalenol, decreases intestinal barrier permeability and reduces claudin expression [PDF]
The gastrointestinal tract represents the first barrier against food contaminants as well as the first target for these toxicants. Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a mycotoxin that commonly contaminates cereals and causes various toxicological effects.

Three hypotheses were tested in present studies: 1. that a threshold dose of fumonisin 3^ (FB-J hepatotoxicity and tumor promotion may be below 50 ppm in a short-term diethylnitrosamine (DEN) initiation/FB-. promotion model; 2. that modifying FBt with fructose may reduce or prevent hepatotoxicity and tumor promotion in rats; 3.

Production and Characterization of Antibodies against Fumonisin B1
Polyclonal antibodies against fumonisin B1 (FmB1) were produced in rabbits after immunizing the animals with either FmBl-keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) or FmB1 bovine serum albumin (BSA). A direct competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (dc-ELISA) and an indirect competitive ELISA (idc-ELISA) were used for the characterization of the antibodies ...
