Monitoring and Managing of Ergot Alkaloids in Cereal Grains: A Comprehensive Analysis of Analytical Challenges, Sampling Uncertainty, and Processing for Food Safety. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Ergot alkaloids (EAs), toxic secondary metabolites produced by Claviceps purpurea, pose food and feed safety concerns for cereal grains, particularly rye and wheat. While EAs are most frequently associated with rye, their occurrence in other cereals has been increasingly reported across diverse regions.
