Metabolism of modified mycotoxins studied through in vitro and in vivo models: An overview [PDF]
Mycotoxins are toxic, secondary metabolites produced by fungi. They occur in a wide variety of food and feed commodities, and are of major public health concern because they are the most hazardous of all food and feed contaminants in terms of chronic toxicity.

Modified Mycotoxins and Multitoxin Contamination of Food and Feed as Major Analytical Challenges
Mycotoxins, as natural products of molds, are often unavoidable contaminants of food and feed, to which the increasingly evident climate changes contribute a large part. The consequences are more or less severe and range from economic losses to worrying health problems to a fatal outcome.

Modified Method for the Determination of Mycotoxins in Cocoa Beans [PDF]
Abstract Method 26.026–26.030 was modified for the analysis of cocoa beans for aflatoxins by inclusion of 3% silver nitrate solution in the extraction solvent mixture. Recoveries of aflatoxins and ochratoxin A added at levels of 5–45 and 20–300 μg/kg, respectively, were satisfactory.

Yesterday masked, today modified; what do mycotoxins bring next? [PDF]
Abstract Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by toxigenic fungi in crops worldwide. In (micro)organisms such as plants, fungi, bacteria, or animals they may be further metabolised and modified, but this is also true for food processing, which may lead to a wide range of masked mycotoxin forms.

Enzymatic Synthesis of Modified Alternaria Mycotoxins Using a Whole-Cell Biotransformation System [PDF]
Reference standards for Alternaria mycotoxins are rarely available, especially the modified mycotoxins alternariol-3-glucoside (AOH-3-G), alternariol-9-glucoside (AOH-9-G), and alternariol monomethylether-3-glucoside (AME-3-G). To obtain these three glucosides as analytical standards for method development and method validation, alternariol and ...

Sulfoglucosides as Novel Modified Forms of the Mycotoxins Alternariol and Alternariol Monomethyl Ether [PDF]
The mycotoxins alternariol and alternariol-9-O-methyl ether have recently been reported to be extensively conjugated with glucose and malonyl glucose in tobacco suspension cells. However, only trace amounts of glucosylated conjugates were detected in tomatoes inoculated with Alternaria alternata in the present study.

Fate of free and modified Alternaria mycotoxins during the production of apple concentrates
Mouldy core is a frequent apple fungal disease, mainly caused by toxigenic Alternaria species. Mouldy core is hardly detected in pre-selection procedures when the apples are destined for industrialization, and to date no information is available on the fate of Alternaria toxins during apple concentrate production.

A Novel Adsorbent Magnetic Graphene Oxide Modified with Chitosan for the Simultaneous Reduction of Mycotoxins [PDF]
A novel magnetic graphene oxide modified with chitosan (MGO-CTS) was synthesised as an adsorbent aimed to examine the simultaneous removal of mycotoxins. The composite was characterised by various procedures, namely Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and a scanning electron microscope (SEM).

Modified Fusarium Mycotoxins in Cereals and Their Products—Metabolism, Occurrence, and Toxicity: An Updated Review [PDF]
Mycotoxins are secondary fungal metabolites, toxic to humans, animals and plants. Under the influence of various factors, mycotoxins may undergo modifications of their chemical structure. One of the methods of mycotoxin modification is a transformation occurring in plant cells or under the influence of fungal enzymes.
