Zearalenone (ZEN) in Livestock and Poultry: Dose, Toxicokinetics, Toxicity and Estrogenicity [PDF]

Toxins, 2020
One of the concerns when using grain ingredients in feed formulation for livestock and poultry diets is mycotoxin contamination. Aflatoxin, fumonisin, ochratoxin, trichothecene (deoxynivalenol, T-2 and HT-2) and zearalenone (ZEN) are mycotoxins that have

Inactivation of zearalenone (ZEN) and deoxynivalenol (DON) in complete feed for weaned piglets: Efficacy of ZEN hydrolase ZenA and of sodium metabisulfite (SBS) as feed additives [PDF]

Mycotoxin Research, 2023
AbstractFemale pigs respond sensitive both to DON and ZEN with anorexia and endocrine disruption, respectively, when critical diet concentrations are exceeded. Therefore, the frequent co-contamination of feed by DON and ZEN requires their parallel inactivation. The additive ZenA hydrolyzes ZEN while SBS inactivates DON through sulfonation.

The Effect of Low Doses of Zearalenone (ZEN) on the Bone Marrow Microenvironment and Haematological Parameters of Blood Plasma in Pre-Pubertal Gilts [PDF]

Toxins, 2022
The aim of this study was to determine whether low doses of zearalenone (ZEN) influence the carry-over of ZEN and its metabolites to the bone marrow microenvironment and, consequently, haematological parameters. Pre-pubertal gilts (with a body weight of up to 14.5 kg) were exposed to daily ZEN doses of 5 μg/kg BW (group ZEN5, n = 15), 10 μg/kg BW ...

Laccase-Mimicking Cu-Tannic Acid Nanozyme for Zearalenone Detoxification: Mechanism and Application in Corn Oil [PDF]

Foods
Zearalenone (ZEN), a prevalent estrogenic mycotoxin found in grains and oils, poses significant health risks due to its endocrine-disrupting properties. This study elucidates the application of a laccase-mimicking copper-tannic acid (CuTA) nanozyme as an

Efficient Biotransformation of Zearalenone in Acidic Food Matrices by Alkaline Enzyme–Inorganic Hybrid Nanoflower [PDF]

Toxins
Zearalenone (ZEN) is a pervasive mycotoxin contaminating global food and feed. While enzymatic degradation offers a promising, specific, and eco-friendly strategy for mycotoxin mitigation, the biotransformation of ZEN within acidic food matrices remains ...

Revisiting the PCR-Based Molecular Approaches for Mycotoxigenic Fusarium Species Detection and Quantification in Wheat. [PDF]

Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf
ABSTRACT Fusarium species cause yield losses in wheat production through fusarium head blight (FHB) and the associated contamination of regulated mycotoxins, such as trichothecenes and zearalenone. Despite the widespread use of PCR‐based molecular approaches for Fusarium detection, quantification, and chemotyping, most primers were developed prior to ...
