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.

The barley–malt–beer chain: A process and food safety approach
Abstract This review addresses the current state of knowledge on the barley–malt–beer chain and its main physical, chemical, and microbiological contaminants, with particular emphasis on spoilage microorganisms and their toxic metabolites. The barley–malt–beer production chain represents a mature and globally relevant agro‐industrial sector that ...

ABSTRACT A green approach to molecularly imprinted polymer synthesis is presented through the use of natural deep eutectic solvents. The polymer prepared for the selective adsorption of aflatoxins was synthesized via precipitation polymerization using 5,7‐dimethoxycoumarin as a template and a thymol/methacrylic acid deep eutectic solvent as both ...

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

Enteric Nervous System Damage by Food Contaminants: A Pathway to Neurodegeneration?
ABSTRACT The enteric nervous system (ENS), a key component of the gut–brain axis, has emerged as a critical player in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). It is the first neural system exposed to food contaminants (FCs)—a diverse group of ubiquitous toxic compounds fortuitously present in food derived from production, processing, storage, or ...

Effects of fumonisin B1 on lipid peroxidation in membranes
Electron spin resonance (ESR)1 spin-label oximetry and spin trapping techniques have been used to study the effect of fumonisin B1 (FB1), an amphipathic mycotoxin on lipid peroxidation in egg yolk phosphatidylcholine (EYPC) bilayers. In the study of the interaction between FB1 and lipid bilayers our results show that fumonisin disturbs the ordering of ...

ABSTRACT Ergot alkaloids (EAs), toxic secondary metabolites produced by Claviceps purpurea, pose food and feed safety concerns for cereal grains, particularly rye and wheat. While EAs are most frequently associated with rye, their occurrence in other cereals has been increasingly reported across diverse regions.
