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.

Analytical tools to determine mycotoxins and modified mycotoxins [PDF]
, 2018 Controlling contaminants in food is a priority for human and animal health and one of the major concerns of authorities across all over the world. In food and feed samples, small and secondary metabolites produced by filamentous fungi, known as mycotoxins, can appear.

Free and Modified Mycotoxins in Organic and Conventional Oats (Avena sativa L.) Grown in Scotland. [PDF]
Toxins (Basel), 2023 Small grain cereals are frequently infected with mycotoxigenic Fusarium fungi. Oats have a particularly high risk of contamination with type A trichothecene mycotoxins; their glucoside conjugates have also been reported. Agronomy practices, cereal variety and weather conditions have been suggested to play a role in Fusarium infection in oats.

The status of Fusarium mycotoxins in Sub-Saharan Africa : a review of emerging trends and post-harvest mitigation strategies towards food control [PDF]
, 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,

A critical evaluation of health risk assessment of modified mycotoxins with a special focus on zearalenone. [PDF]
Mycotoxin Res, 2019 A comprehensive definition introducing the term "modified mycotoxins" to encompass all possible forms in which mycotoxins and their modifications can occur was recently proposed and has rapidly gained wide acceptance within the scientific community. It is becoming increasingly evident that exposure to such modified mycotoxins due to their presence in ...

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 known about the occurrence of their modified forms in forage maize.

Analysis of 13 Alternaria mycotoxins including modified forms in beer [PDF]
Mycotoxin Research, 2021 AbstractA multi-mycotoxin LC-MS/MS method was developed to quantify 13 free and modifiedAlternariatoxins in different beer types by applying a combination of stable-isotope dilution assays (SIDAs) and matrix-matched calibration. With limits of detection (LODs) between 0.03 µg/L (alternariol monomethyl ether, AME) and 5.48 µg/L (altenuene, ALT), limits ...

Modified Mycotoxins, a Still Unresolved Issue
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 substances, like sugars.

Evaluation of the Efficacy of Mycotoxin Modifiers and Mycotoxin Binders by Using an In Vitro Rumen Model as a First Screening Tool [PDF]
Toxins, 2020 Ruminal microbiota of cattle are not able to detoxify all mycotoxins. In addition, detoxification can be hampered by adverse ruminal conditions (e.g., low ruminal pH). Hence, in the cattle husbandry, mycotoxin binders and modifiers could be used to prevent animal exposure to mycotoxins. In this study, an in vitro rumen model, including feed matrix, was

Immobilization of mycotoxins on modified nanodiamond substrates [PDF]
Biointerphases, 2011 The effectiveness of modified nanodiamonds (NDs) for the adsorption of mycotoxins, aflatoxin B1 (AfB1) and ochratoxin A (OTA), are investigated in this paper. Binding and release mechanisms of the mycotoxins were addressed using an assortment of NDs modified by different surface treatments, including carboxylation, hydrogenation and hydroxylation ...
