Network Pharmacology‐Based Prediction and In Vivo Validation of Fumonisin B1‐Induced Liver Injury and Early Fibrosis

Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, Volume 40, Issue 10, October 2026.
This study integrates network pharmacology and an in vivo mouse model to elucidate the mechanisms underlying Fumonisin B1 (FB1)‐induced liver injury and early fibrosis. In silico predictions identified 56 core targets, with TP53, EP300, and MTOR demonstrating strong molecular docking affinities for FB1. In vivo validation showed that FB1 exposure (5 mg/

Development of ion trap HPLC-MS detection methods for the determination of prevalent mycotoxins in grain and application to real samples [PDF]

, 2007
The prevalent trichothecenes deoxynivalenol, nivalenol and HT-2 as well as zearalenone, zearalenol, ochratoxin A and citrinin are typical widespread mycotoxins in temperate climate zones mainly produced by the genus Fusarium, Aspergillus and Penicillium.

Safety of frozen paste from blanched, whole migratory locust (Locusta migratoria) as a novel food pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens (NDA) was asked to deliver an opinion on frozen paste from blanched, whole migratory locusts (Locusta migratoria) as a novel food (NF) pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283. The NF is produced from farmed sub‐adult L. migratoria, which

Safety evaluation of the food enzyme containing endo‐polygalacturonase, pectinesterase, pectin lyase and arabinan endo‐1,5‐α‐l‐arabinanase activities from the non‐genetically modified Aspergillus sp. strain ASNSC

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The food enzyme containing endo‐polygalacturonase (1,4‐α‐d‐galacturonan glycanohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.15), pectinesterase (pectin pectylhydrolase; EC 3.1.1.11), pectin lyase (1,4‐6‐O‐methyl‐α‐d‐galacturonan lyase; EC 4.2.2.10) and arabinan endo‐1,5‐α‐l‐arabinanase (5‐α‐l‐arabinan 5‐α‐l‐arabinanohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.99) activities is produced with ...

Fusarium Mycotoxins (Fumonisins, Nivalenol, and Zearalenone) and Aflatoxins in Corn from Southeast Asia

, 2021
Corn samples collected from the Philippines, Thailand, and Indonesia were surveyed for the natural occurrence of Fusarium mycotoxins (fumonisins, trichothecenes, and zearalenone) and aflatoxins. Fumonisins B1 and B2 were found in over 50% of corn samples

Single-kernel analysis of fumonisins and other fungal metabolites in maize from South African subsistence farmers. [PDF]

, 2011
Fumonisins are important Fusarium mycotoxins mainly found in maize and derived products. This study analysed maize from five subsistence farmers in the former Transkei region of South Africa. Farmers had sorted kernels into good and mouldy quality.
