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.

Degradation of ochratoxin A by proteases and by a crude enzyme of aspergillus niger [PDF]

, 2006
Ochratoxin A is a mycotoxin present in food commodities as cereals, wine, coffee, figs, dried vine fruits or beer and in feeds for animals. The enhancement of its conversion into ochratoxin a is considered to be a way to reduce its presence in the body

The use of edible insects in human food

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract The world population is expected to reach approximately 10 billion people by 2050, which will significantly increase global food demand and may lead to agricultural shortages and a higher risk of food insecurity. In this context, this review discusses the potential of insects as alternative sources of animal protein, addressing their ...
