Co‐Detoxification of Multiple Mycotoxins: Microbial and Enzymatic Biodegradation Processes

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 4, July 2026.
The presence of mycotoxins poses a threat to food safety. This article reviews microbial/enzymatic detoxification technologies and the main degradation pathways of key mycotoxins. We propose to overcome current bottlenecks through enzyme engineering and synthetic biology, providing a roadmap for sustainable and scalable solutions.

Food Safety and Nutritional Aspects of Plant‐Based Dairy and Meat Alternatives: A Review

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Plant‐based dairy and meat alternatives (PBDA and PBMA) offer sustainability benefits but also introduce chemical and microbiological hazards to the diet. Key concerns include emerging mycotoxins, heavy metals, process contaminants, and heat‐resistant spore‐forming bacteria.

Fusarium spp. and levels of fumonisins in maize produced by subsistence farmers in South Africa

South African Journal of Science, 2011
Fusarium spp. produce fumonisins - mycotoxins that are of importance to maize production in South Africa. Fumonisins have been associated with human oesophageal cancer and cause various diseases in animals that are of concern to the animal feed ...

Comparative analysis of fungal microbiomes in Korean and Chinese chili pepper powders

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 9, Page 5680-5687, July 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Chili pepper powder plays a crucial role in kimchi fermentation; however, its use may result in fungal contamination. Therefore, analyzing its mycobiome is vital to maintain quality control standards. In this study, we used internal transcribed spacer (ITS)2 amplicon sequencing to compare fungal communities in commercially available

Climate‐Driven Regulatory Plasticity Reshapes Mycotoxin Risk and Control in Food Systems

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate variability may alter mycotoxin risk not only by shifting fungal distribution and crop susceptibility, but also by influencing environmentally responsive regulatory processes that control fungal secondary metabolism. This PRISMA‐informed semi‐systematic review synthesizes molecular biology, fungal ecology, mitigation studies ...

Evaluating putative lncRNA‐mediated ceRNA regulatory network involving miR396 and miR319 in maize leaf growth under Fusarium verticillioides infection

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 1, July 2026.
The final leaf length of maize (Zea mays) was reduced due to the pathogenic fungus Fusarium verticillioides infection as a result of increased expression of miR396 in the elongation zone and decreased expression of miR319 in the mature zone of maize leaves, leading to antagonistic regulation of the expression of the GRF15 and TCP38, respectively ...

Morphological and Multilocus Phylogenetic Characterisation of Fusarium Species Causing Fruit Rot in Pumpkins

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
Eight Fusarium species are associated with the pumpkin rot in north‐east Brazil. ABSTRACT Pumpkin (Cucurbita) is a cucurbit of great economic and social importance in Brazil. However, fruit rot caused by Fusarium species represents a significant limitation to crop production, compromising quality and hindering commercialisation.
