Guidance on default values and uncertainty factors to be used by the EFSA Scientific Committee, Scientific Panels and Units in the absence of actual measured data

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has updated its 2012 guidance on selected default values (DVs) to be used by the EFSA Scientific Committee (SC), Scientific Panels and Units in the absence of actual measured data. DVs are meant to be typical values, being not necessarily conservative, while uncertainty factors (UFs) tend to be ...

Occurrence Pattern of Fusarium Head Blight Toxins in Barley and Wheat in Korea [PDF]

Research in Plant Disease
The occurrence of Fusarium head blight mycotoxins was analyzed in barley and wheat collected from 2020 to 2024 in the main production areas in Korea. In all years, the mean level and incidence of nivalenol (NIV) was higher than deoxynivalenol (DON).

Cytotoxic effects of nivalenol on HL60 cells

Mycotoxins, 2006
To elucidate the underlying mechanism of nivalenol toxicity, we treated human promyelocytic leukemia HL60 cells with nivalenol for 24 h and investigated the toxin's effects on cell viability and interleukin (IL)-8 secretion. Whereas exposure to 1 μg/ml nivalenol led to slight morphologic damage, that after treatment with 3 or 10 μg/ml nivalenol was ...

Revisiting the PCR‐Based Molecular Approaches for Mycotoxigenic Fusarium Species Detection and Quantification in Wheat

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Fusarium species cause yield losses in wheat production through fusarium head blight (FHB) and the associated contamination of regulated mycotoxins, such as trichothecenes and zearalenone. Despite the widespread use of PCR‐based molecular approaches for Fusarium detection, quantification, and chemotyping, most primers were developed prior to ...

Mycotoxins in Flanders’ Fields: Occurrence and Correlations with Fusarium Species in Whole-Plant Harvested Maize

Microorganisms, 2019
Mycotoxins are well-known contaminants of several food- and feedstuffs, including silage maize for dairy cattle. Climate change and year-to-year variations in climatic conditions may cause a shift in the fungal populations infecting maize, and therefore ...

Fusarium Mycotoxins in Maize Field Soils: Method Validation and Implications for Sampling Strategy

Toxins, 2022
While mycotoxins are generally regarded as food contamination issues, there is growing interest in mycotoxins as environmental pollutants. The main sources of trichothecene and zearalenone mycotoxins in the environment are mainly attributed to Fusarium ...

Occurrence and Health Risk Assessment of Aflatoxin B1 and Total Aflatoxins in Maize Flour From Jiroft City, Iran

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Aflatoxin B1 and total aflatoxins were assessed in 40 commercial maize flour samples collected from Jiroft City, Iran. AFB1 and total aflatoxins were detected in 67.5% and 70% of samples, respectively. A total of 35% of samples exceeded the EU limit for AFB1, while 20% exceeded the EU limit for total aflatoxins.

Nivalenol induces oxidative stress and increases deoxynivalenol pro-oxidant effect in intestinal epithelial cells

, 2015
Mycotoxins are secondary fungal metabolites often found as contaminants in almost all agricultural commodities worldwide, and the consumption of food or feed contaminated by mycotoxins represents a major risk for human and animal health.

Mycotoxins‐contaminated wheat matrices bioconversion by Tenebrio molitor larvae (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1691-1705, August 2026.
Larval development time, ADG, survival rate and substrate consumption were not negatively affected by the levels of mycotoxins contamination Larvae excreted most of the ingested DON and its derivatives through exuviae and frass The mycotoxin accumulation rates observed in larvae were always below the current legal limits for livestock feed Abstract ...
