Modified Mycotoxins, a Still Unresolved Issue [PDF]

Chemistry, 2022
Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by filamentous microfungi on almost every agricultural commodity worldwide. After the infection of crop plants, mycotoxins are modified by plant enzymes or other fungi and often conjugated to more polar

Modified Mycotoxins and Multitoxin Contamination of Food and Feed as Major Analytical Challenges. [PDF]

Toxins (Basel), 2023
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.

Occurrence of Fusarium Mycotoxins and Their Modified Forms in Forage Maize Cultivars [PDF]

Toxins, 2021
Forage maize is often infected by mycotoxin-producing Fusarium fungi during plant growth, which represent a serious health risk to exposed animals. Deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZEN) are among the most important Fusarium mycotoxins, but little is

Scientific Opinion on the risks for human and animal health related to the presence of modified forms of certain mycotoxins in food and feed [PDF]

EFSA Journal, 2014
Following a request from the European Commission, the risks to human and animal health related to modified forms of the Fusarium toxins zearalenone, nivalenol, T‐2 and HT‐2 toxins and fumonisins were evaluated. Modified (often called “masked”) mycotoxins

The Status of Fusarium Mycotoxins in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Review of Emerging Trends and Post-Harvest Mitigation Strategies towards Food Control [PDF]

Toxins, 2017
Fusarium fungi are common plant pathogens causing several plant diseases. The presence of these molds in plants exposes crops to toxic secondary metabolites called Fusarium mycotoxins. The most studied Fusarium mycotoxins include fumonisins, zearalenone,

Enzymatic synthesis of the modified mycotoxins 3-lactyl- and 3-propionyl-deoxynivalenol [PDF]

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
The use of lactic acid bacteria as a low-cost sustainable management tool to prevent further build-up of Fusarium mycotoxins during grain storage is increasingly propagated.

Fate of Free and Modified Forms of Mycotoxins during Food Processing [PDF]

Toxins, 2020
International trade is highly affected by mycotoxin contaminations, which result in an annual 5% to 10% loss of global crop production [...]

Knowledge structure and evolution of masked mycotoxin research in Sub-Saharan Africa: A systematic review and network analysis approach [PDF]

Toxicon: X
Masked mycotoxins are modified forms of mycotoxins that escape conventional detection, posing underexplored risks to food safety. Despite their potential public health risks, research on these compounds remains limited in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).

Effects of Durum Wheat Cultivars with Different Degrees of FHB Susceptibility Grown under Different Meteorological Conditions on the Contamination of Regulated, Modified and Emerging Mycotoxins

Microorganisms, 2021
The enhancement of Fusarium head blight (FHB) resistance is one of the best options to reduce mycotoxin contamination in wheat. This study has aimed to verify that the genotypes with high tolerance to deoxynivalenol could guarantee an overall ...

Phlobaphenes modify pericarp thickness in maize and accumulation of the fumonisin mycotoxins [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2020
AbstractPhlobaphenes are insoluble phenolic compounds which are accumulated in a limited number of tissues such as seed pericarp and cob glumes, conferring on them a typical red-brown pigmentation. These secondary metabolites, derived from 3-deoxy flavonoids, are thought to have an important role in plants’ resistance against various pathogens, e.g. by
