Food Contamination and Safety in Nigeria: A Systematic Synthesis of Heavy Metals, Microbial Pathogens, and Health Risk Metrics

open access: yesFood Safety and Health, EarlyView.
This is an infographic driver of food contaminants and health effects. ABSTRACT Food safety remains a critical challenge in Nigeria due to rapid urbanization and weak regulatory enforcement. This systematic review synthesizes empirical evidence from 2015 to 2025 to characterize food contaminant profiles and associated human health risks in Nigeria ...

Molecular Modeling and Simulation Tools in the Development of Peptide-Based Biosensors for Mycotoxin Detection: Example of Ochratoxin

open access: yesToxins, 2017
Mycotoxin contamination of food and feed is now ubiquitous. Exposures to mycotoxin via contact or ingestion can potentially induce adverse health outcomes.

Fate of ochratoxin A in brewing [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Microbiology, 1975
The fate of ochratoxin A in brewing was investigated by adding (3H)ochratoxin A to the raw materials at 1- and 10-mug/g levels during mashing in a conventional microbrewing process. The results indicated that large portions (28 to 39%) of the added toxin were recovered in spent grains, with less recovery in the yeast (8 to 20%) and beer (14 to 18 ...

Immunomodulatory and Cytotoxic Properties of Enniatin B1 in Porcine Alveolar Macrophages

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the immunomodulatory effects of Enniatin B1 (ENNB1), an emerging mycotoxin, on porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs), a species‐specific model relevant to human innate immunity. PAMs were exposed to increasing ENNB1 concentrations (0.5–6 μM) over 6, 24, and 48 h.

Effect of a Diet Contaminated with Ochratoxin A at the Highest Level Allowed by Eu on the Inflammation and the Oxidative Stress in the Spleen of Weaned Piglets

open access: yesScientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023
Ochratoxins are fungal secondary metabolites produced during storage by fungus of the genera Aspergillus, mainly in tropical and warmer regions and by Penicillium verrucosum, in temperate and colder areas.

Deficient Glutathione in the Pathophysiology of Mycotoxin-Related Illness

open access: yesToxins, 2014
Evidence for the role of oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of mycotoxin-related illness is increasing. The glutathione antioxidant and detoxification systems play a major role in the antioxidant function of cells.

Evaluating the combined toxicity of Penicillium mycotoxins in absorption, metabolism, and excretion systems

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Penicillium mycotoxins, including ochratoxin A (OTA), citrinin (CIT), and cyclopiazonic acid (CPZ), frequently co‐occur in food commodities, contributing to chronic low‐level dietary exposure. However, current risk assessments often consider these toxins individually, overlooking potential interaction effects.

Mycotoxin management in the cereal supply chain: Advanced detection, detoxification, and smart packaging strategies

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Mycotoxins remain a persistent threat to the safety and quality of cereal grains and other agricultural products, and their impact on human health continues to raise global concerns. In many situations, the practices traditionally used to control these toxins are no longer sufficiently effective. They can be costly, difficult to implement on a

Mycotoxigenic fungi in peanuts from different geographic regions of Egypt [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
To understand the importance of mycotoxigenic fungi in Egyptian peanuts, samples from five regions (Alexandria, El-Beheira, El-Sharqiya, El-Daqahelaya in northern Egypt and Asyut, southern Egypt) in two seasons (2007, 2008) were collected. Aspergillus

Simultaneous Presence of Mycotoxins in Feed Intended for Food-Producing Animals

open access: yesFoods
This study aimed to verify the simultaneous presence of mycotoxins in feed intended for food-producing animals. A validated liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry analytical method was used for the determination and quantification of aflatoxins (AFB1 ...
