Notoamide R: A Prominent Diketopiperazine Fermentation Metabolite amongst Others of Aspergillus ochraceus in the Absence of Ochratoxins. [PDF]
Ochratoxin A is historically the most notable secondary metabolite of Aspergillus ochraceus on account of its toxicity to animals and fish. Currently, over 150 compounds of diverse structure and biosynthesis is a challenge to predict the array for any ...

Comprehensive IAC Cross-Reactivity Validation and Stabilized Method Development for Ochratoxin A, B, and C in Complex Coffee and Spice Matrices. [PDF]
Ochratoxins (OTs) pose a major food safety threat, yet analytical methodologies and regulations focus almost exclusively on ochratoxin A (OTA), overlooking the toxic analogues OTB and OTC, especially in complex coffee and spice matrices.
