Microbial Transformation of Macrocyclic Trichothecenes [PDF]
A resting culture of Rhizopus arrhizus (ATCC 11145) transformed verrucarin A into 16-hydroxyverrucarin A, whereas R. arrhizus transformed verrucarin B into a mixture of 16-hydroxyverrucarin B and 3′-hydroxyverrucarin A. Relative to verrucarins A and B, the 16-hydroxy derivatives showed marked

ZZE-Configuration of chromophore ß-153 in C-phycocyanin from Mastigocladus laminosus [PDF]
The photochemistry of C-phycocyanin has been studied after denaturation in the dark. It shows an irreversible reaction which has characteristics of a Ζ,Ζ,Ε- to Z,Z,Z-isomerization of dihydrobilins. Its amplitude depends on the reaction conditions, with

The barley–malt–beer chain: A process and food safety approach
Abstract This review addresses the current state of knowledge on the barley–malt–beer chain and its main physical, chemical, and microbiological contaminants, with particular emphasis on spoilage microorganisms and their toxic metabolites. The barley–malt–beer production chain represents a mature and globally relevant agro‐industrial sector that ...

Fusarium species and mycotoxin profiles on commercial maize hybrids in Germany [PDF]
High year-to-year variability in the incidence of Fusarium spp. and mycotoxin contamination was observed in a two-year survey investigating the impact of maize ear rot in 84 field samples from Germany. Fusarium verticillioides, F.

Abstract BACKGROUND Temperature and moisture content are recognized as the main factors responsible for mycotoxin production in stored grain, while the role of gaseous environment, particularly interstitial CO2, remains unexplored. This study investigated the relationship between interstitial CO2 concentration (generated metabolically in air spaces ...

The effect of agmatine on trichothecene type B and zearalenone production in Fusarium graminearum, F. culmorum and F. poae [PDF]
Agmatine and other putrescines are known for being strong inducers of deoxynivalenol (DON) production in Fusarium graminearum. Other important species produce DON and/or other trichothecene type B toxins (3 acetylated DON, 15 acetylated DON, Fusarenon-X,

Enteric Nervous System Damage by Food Contaminants: A Pathway to Neurodegeneration?
ABSTRACT The enteric nervous system (ENS), a key component of the gut–brain axis, has emerged as a critical player in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). It is the first neural system exposed to food contaminants (FCs)—a diverse group of ubiquitous toxic compounds fortuitously present in food derived from production, processing, storage, or ...
