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

Food 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 ...

Fate of ochratoxin A in brewing [PDF]

Applied 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 ...

Aflatoxins and ochratoxins, harmful mycotoxins for human and animal health [PDF]

, 2016
Aflatoxins and ochratoxins are toxic and carcinogen mycotoxins produced as secondary metabolites by several moulds species. Aflatoxins are producing by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus in dry conditions and high temperatures.

Immunomodulatory and Cytotoxic Properties of Enniatin B1 in Porcine Alveolar Macrophages

Journal 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.

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

Journal 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.

Mycotoxins and Mycotoxin Producing Fungi in Pollen: Review

Toxins, 2019
Due to its divergent chemical composition and good nutritional properties, pollen is not only important as a potential food supplement but also as a good substrate for the development of different microorganisms.

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

Journal 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

Natural Occurrence of Major Mycotoxins across the Ginger Value Chain in Nigeria

Journal of Food Quality and Hazards Control, 2022
Background: Ginger which serves as both spices and medicine is susceptible to mycotoxin contamination. This research determined the incidence of major mycotoxins, including Aflatoxins (AFs), Ochratoxin A (OTA), and Fumonisins (FBs) in Nigerian ginger ...

Evaluation of electrolyzed water to control fungal trunk pathogens in grapevine nurseries

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1740-1751, April 2025.
Electrolyzed water treatments could have promising applications in the grapevine nursery process to prevent or reduce infections caused by fungal trunk pathogens on grapevine propagation material. Abstract BACKGROUND Grapevine producers demand solutions to control fungal trunk pathogens (FTPs) in nurseries.

Environmental Mycotoxins and Brain Health: Protective Role of Bromelain Against Fumonisin B1 in SH‐SY5Y Cells

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fumonisin B1 (FB1), a mycotoxin commonly found in contaminated food and feed, has been increasingly implicated in neurotoxicity, although its mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study investigates the neurotoxic potential of FB1 in human SH‐SY5Y neuroblastoma cells, both undifferentiated and RA‐differentiated, and evaluates the ...
