Fusarium mycotoxins: The major food contaminants
Abstract Mycotoxins, which are secondary metabolites produced by toxicogenic fungi, are natural food toxins that cause acute and chronic adverse reactions in humans and animals. The genus Fusarium is one of three major genera of mycotoxin‐producing fungi. Trichothecenes, fumonisins, and zearalenone are the major Fusarium mycotoxins that occur worldwide.

Abstract There is still considerable controversy about the relative risk of mycotoxin exposure associated with the consumption of organic and conventional cereals. Using validated protocols, we carried out a systematic literature review and meta‐analyses of data on the incidence and concentrations of mycotoxins produced by Fusarium, Claviceps ...

Detection of Aflatoxin B1 through indirect ELISA from fresh grains obtained from three maize growing zones of India [PDF]
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is most frequently found in plant substrates, which has shown the highest toxigenic potential. Based on previous studies, the IARC has classified AFB1 as a class 1A human carcinogen. Several impacts on consumers, such as loss of human

Toxicité aigue sur canetons pekin de souches de Fusarium monoliforme isolées du mais en Nouvelle-Calédonie [PDF]
The toxicity of Fusarium monoliforme strains isolated from maize in New Caledonia has been tested on one day Pekin ducklings. Toxic isolates of the fungus killed the ducklings within 6 days only when mixed to an unbalanced ration. Ducklings fed on a well

Trichothecene and Moniliformin Production by Fusarium Species from Western Canadian Wheat
Fusarium graminearum, Fusarium culmorum, and Fusarium avenaceum, isolated from Fusarium-damaged wheat harvested in western Canada, were cultured and evaluated for mycotoxin production. Extracts of the culture media were assayed for trichothecenes by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and for moniliformin by liquid chromatography. Deoxynivalenol (DON)

Occurrence of Fusarium head blight of wheat and associated mycotoxins in Narok and Nakuru Counties, Kenya [PDF]
Open Access JournalFusarium head blight (FHB) is an important disease of small grain cereals. This study assessed the incidence and severity of FHB of wheat at hard dough stage, and levels of deoxynivalenol and T2-toxin at harvest by direct competitive ...

Reduction of Moniliformin During Alkaline Cooking of Corn
ABSTRACTThe incidence of moniliformin (MON) producing Fusarium spp. in selected corn (Zea mays L.) samples from Mexico and the United States and the effects of alkaline cooking and the tortilla manufacturing processes on the reduction of MON were determined. The percentage of infected kernels with Fusarium spp.
