Safety evaluation of the food enzyme papain, a cysteine endopeptidase complex from the latex of Carica papaya L.

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The food enzyme is a cysteine endopeptidase complex, containing papain (EC 3.4.22.2), chymopapain (EC 3.4.22.6), caricain (EC 3.4.22.30) and glycyl endopeptidase (EC 3.4.22.25), obtained from the latex of unripe Carica papaya L. by Troplandis BVBA. Dietary exposure was evaluated for seven food manufacturing processes and was estimated to be up

Safety evaluation of the food enzyme α‐amylase from the non‐genetically modified Aspergillus sp. strain AR‐SHFA‐109

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The food enzyme α‐amylase (4‐α‐d‐glucan glucanohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.1) is produced with the non‐genetically modified Aspergillus sp. strain AR‐SHFA‐109 by Suntaq International Limited. The food enzyme was free from viable cells of the production organism. It is intended to be used in six food manufacturing processes.

Fumonisin Production by Fusarium verticillioides in Maize Genotypes Cultivated in Different Environments

Toxins, 2019
Fumonisins are mycotoxins (MTs) produced mainly by the fungus Fusarium verticillioides, the main pathogens of maize which cause ear rot. The aim of this work was to evaluate some factors that may lead to high fumonisin production by F. verticillioides in

Synthesis and Characterization of Dummy Template‐Based Molecularly Imprinted Polymers for Extraction of Aflatoxins in Food Samples

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 22, Issue 12, December 2025.
Five dummy templates and two functional monomers were systematically evaluated for the preparation of selective MIPs for aflatoxins. 5,7‐Dimethoxycoumarin and methacrylic acid were found to produce highly selective MIPs, and the adsorbent was characterized by FTIR, TGA, and SEM.

Use of Cold Plasma for Phytosanitation and Decontamination of Food Products: A Review

Future Postharvest and Food, Volume 2, Issue 4, Page 390-410, December 2025.
Applications of cold plasma in food industry. ABSTRACT Consumers are increasingly demanding healthy and nutrient‐rich food. Although conventional thermal processing techniques (pasteurization, sterilization, and blanching) ensure food safety and extend shelf life, they often negatively impact nutritional value and sensory quality, and they also consume

Early Childhood Dietary Exposure of Aflatoxins and Fumonisins in Tanzania: Role in Child Stunting and Possible Interventions (2003–2024)

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2025.
Childhood stunting is a major public health concern, and dietary exposure to aflatoxins and fumonisins during early life is associated with child stunting in Tanzania. The causal link between aflatoxin and/or fumonisin exposure and child stunting has been less well explained.

Effect of an esterified glucomannan on laying hens exposed to combined mycotoxins (aflatoxin B1, zearalenone and fumonisin B1)

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2011
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 ...

Real‐time CO2 monitoring for early detection of grain spoilage and mycotoxin contamination

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 105, Issue 15, Page 8985-8993, December 2025.
Abstract BACKGROUND This study aimed to compare the use of real‐time CO2, temperature (T) and relative humidity (RH) sensors as indicators of stored grain quality management, specifically for early detection of mould activity and mycotoxin contamination.

The Quality of Eggs from Japanese Quail, Coturnix japonica, Fed Rations Containing Aflatoxin B1 and Fumonisin B1

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2007
In the present study, the individual and combined effects of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and fumonisin B1 (FB1) on the quality of quail eggs were investigated. To this end, 288 8-week-old Japanese quail were randomly distributed into six experimental groups (48
