Modulation of oxidative metabolism and quality preservation of strawberries by a CMC–alginate bilayer edible coating during cold storage

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Strawberries are highly perishable fruits characterized by rapid postharvest deterioration, leading to significant quality losses and reduced marketability. In this study, a bilayer edible coating based on carboxymethylcellulose and sodium alginate was evaluated for its ability to preserve strawberry quality during cold storage ...

Straw Return Combined With Nitrogen Fertilizer Application Improve Nitrogen Utilization Efficiency by Regulating Soil Physical and Chemical Properties in Spring Maize

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Straw return (SR) and controlled‐release nitrogen fertilizers application can improve soil structure, enhance soil water retention, and promote crop growth. However, the mechanisms through which SR and controlled‐release nitrogen fertilizers application jointly modulate soil physical and chemical properties remain unclear.

Mycotoxin mechanisms of action and health effects : in vitro or in vivo tests, that's the question

, 2014
Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites of fungi and represent significant food safety challenges. Despite efforts to control fungal contamination, mycotoxins can contaminate food and feed materials, enter the body via ingestion of contaminated foods,

Mass Spectrometry in Authentication and Forensic Approaches for Determining the Origin of Hazardous Chemicals

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Identification of a chemical agent yields insights into its physicochemical properties. By examining the intrinsic characteristics and environment of a compound, information about its history can be gathered. The main objective of authentication/forensic approaches to chemicals is to trace the history of the compound's origin, regardless of ...

Mycotoxin occurrence in poultry feed and feed ingredients

Journal of Applied Poultry Research
Summary: Due to the critical nature of feed safety in poultry, safeguards are normally put in place to make sure that feed is safe for poultry. Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites that are produced by fungi which can, when consumed, result in issues ...

The food contaminant deoxynivalenol, decreases intestinal barrier permeability and reduces claudin expression [PDF]

, 2009
The gastrointestinal tract represents the first barrier against food contaminants as well as the first target for these toxicants. Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a mycotoxin that commonly contaminates cereals and causes various toxicological effects.

The continuing significance of chiral agrochemicals

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1697-1716, April 2025.
In the time frame 2018–2023, around 43% of the 35 chiral agrochemicals introduced to the market (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, and nematicides) contain one or more stereogenic centers in the molecule, and almost 69% of them have been marketed as racemic mixtures of enantiomers or stereoisomers.

Evaluation of a short-term ingestion of zearalenone, fumonisin, and aflatoxin mixture incorporated, at low concentration, into the diet of weanling piglets and the effect of an anti-mycotoxin feed additive

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2018
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the toxic effects of short-term ingestion of a zearalenone, fumonisin, and aflatoxin mixture, at low concentration, into the diet of weanling piglets and to assess the protective efficacy of an anti-mycotoxin feed ...

Fate of Aflatoxins and Fumonisins During Gluten‐Free Pasta Processing: Untargeted 13C‐Labelling LC‐HRMS Based Approach [PDF]

J Mass Spectrom
ABSTRACT Based on previous experience and current knowledge, it is assumed that mycotoxins contaminating raw materials could be degraded or modified due to exposure to thermal and mechanical conditions during food processing, potentially resulting in degradation and/or conversion products.
