Enteric Nervous System Damage by Food Contaminants: A Pathway to Neurodegeneration?

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
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 ...

Monitoring and Managing of Ergot Alkaloids in Cereal Grains: A Comprehensive Analysis of Analytical Challenges, Sampling Uncertainty, and Processing for Food Safety

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
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.

Validation of a biochip array technology for multi-mycotoxins screening in Rice and other cereals

Food Chemistry Advances
Cereal grains are widely cultivated agricultural commodities, and they constitute a key source of energy. However, many of them are affected by fungal contamination, and consequently, by the presence of mycotoxin. The development of monitoring techniques

The root hair assay facilitates the use of genetic and pharmacological tools in order to dissect multiple signalling pathways that lead to programmed cell death. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The activation of programmed cell death (PCD) is often a result of complex signalling pathways whose relationship and intersection are not well understood.

Investigation of Potential Risks in Bio‐Based Food Contact Materials (FCMs) From Microbial Exploitation of Agricultural Wastes: Case Studies of Bacterial Cellulose and Nisin

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT In the context of the circular economy and the increasing demand for safe and sustainable packaging, this work addresses the safety assessment of food contact materials (FCMs) derived from agro‐industrial by‐products. Despite growing interest in these bio‐based materials, the literature still lacks a structured safety‐assessment framework able

Review of mycotoxin reduction in food and feed: from prevention in the field to detoxification by adsorption or transformation [PDF]

, 2011
Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites present worldwide in agricultural commodities and produced by filamentous fungi that cause a toxic response (mycotoxicosis) when ingested by animals.

Fumonisin B1 Neurotoxicity in Young Carp (Cyprinus Carpio L.) [PDF]

Archives of Industrial Hygiene and Toxicology, 2009
Fumonisin B1 Neurotoxicity in Young Carp (Cyprinus CarpioL.)For years scientists have suspected that the environment plays a role in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis. Mycotoxin fumonisin B1(FB1) is produced by severalFusariumspecies, mainly byFusarium verticilioides, which is one of the

Updated safety evaluation of the food enzyme catalase from the non‐genetically modified Aspergillus tubingensis strain AE‐CN

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The food enzyme catalase (hydrogen‐peroxide:hydrogen‐peroxide oxidoreductase; EC 1.11.1.6) is produced with the non‐genetically modified Aspergillus tubingensis strain AE‐CN by Amano Enzyme Inc. The food enzyme is intended to be used in seven food manufacturing processes.

Rapid Assessment of the Toxicity of Fungal Compounds Using Luminescent Vibrio qinghaiensis sp. Q67

Toxins, 2017
Most tropical fruits after harvest are very perishable because of fungal infection. Since some pathogenic fungi can produce hazardous compounds such as mycotoxins, novel rapid and effective methods to assess those hazardous compounds are urgently needed.
