Download or read book Mycotoxins in Food and Beverages written by Didier Montet and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-06-02 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by fungi in a wide range of foods (cereals, peanut, tree nuts, dried fruits, coffee, cocoa, grapes, spices...) both in the field and after harvest, particularly during storage. They can also be found in processed foods of plant origin, or by transfer, in food products of animal (milk, eggs, meat and offal). Mycotoxins are of major concern since they can cause acute or chronic intoxications in both humans and animals which are sometimes fatal. Many countries, particularly in Europe, have set maximum acceptable levels for mycotoxins in food and feed. The book reviews the latest literature and innovations on important aspects of mycotoxins, e.g. mycotoxin producing fungi and the related ecosystems, mycotoxin occurrence, toxicity, analysis and management. Quantitative estimation of impacts of climate change on mycotoxin occurrence have been made recently, using predictive modelling. There is also a growing interest in studying the occurrence and toxicity of multiple mycotoxins in food and feed, including emerging or modified forms of mycotoxins. Innovative tools have also developed to detect and quantify toxinogenic fungi and their toxins. In order to reduce the use of chemicals that are harmful to the environment and health of consumers, alternative methods of prevention and decontamination of mycotoxins were tested in pre- and post-harvest, using microorganisms, natural substances or radiation treatments.

These molds grow during production, harvesting and storage of grain, pulses, nuts, roots and other crops. This booklet is directed at the farm situation, providing advice that can be used to avoid mycotoxin contamination before food leaves the farm. The booklet describes what mycotoxins are, how they are produced and how to recognize signs of their presence. It provides advice to enable farmers to minimize the risk from mold contamination while the crop is growing, during harvest and through storage.--Publisher's description.
Download or read book Aflatoxin written by Lukman Abdulra'Uf and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2017-08-30 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aflatoxins are a group of highly toxic and carcinogenic substances, which occur naturally, and can be found in food substances. Aflatoxins are secondary metabolites of certain strains of the fungi Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus and the less common A. nomius. Aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, and G2 are the most important members, which can be categorized into two groups according to the chemical structure. As a result of the adverse health effects of mycotoxins, their levels have been strictly regulated especially in food and feed samples. Therefore, their accurate identification and determination remain a Herculean task due to their presence in complex food matrices. The great public concern and the strict legislation incited the development of reliable, specific, selective, and sensitive analytical methods for pesticide monitoring that are discussed in this book.

This book was released on 2018-07-05 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contamination of food and feed products with mycotoxins represent a major threat to human and animal health, and are a significant food safety concern to the worldwide agriculture and food value chain. Due to its high prevalence, costs related to avoiding the occurrence of mycotoxins in food and feed are continuing to rise, causing the international economy to lose billions of dollars every year. The fact is that currently mycotoxin contamination cannot be avoided using the current agricultural practices, therefore, innovative strategies for mitigating mycotoxins are essential and urgently needed. After several decades of research, our understanding of mycotoxin mitigation started to reach a pinnacle and major advances in the control of mycotoxins have been achieved. One of the advances is the development of mycotoxin detoxifications, particularly by biological and enzymatic means. This book covers the most recent advances related to the detoxifications of mycotoxins in food and feed and presents the most promising techniques that may lead to optimized empirical and feasible solutions for controlling mycotoxins in the agriculture and food value chain. The book also provides comprehensive strategies with state-of-the-art tools for future research and development in the field of mycotoxin detoxifications.

Download or read book Masked Mycotoxins in Food written by Chiara Dall'Asta and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2015-11-05 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book to cover this fast developing field, Masked Mycotoxins in Food will provide a full overview of the issues relating to the toxicology of masked mycotoxins present in food products. Mycotoxins are naturally occurring chemicals produced by moulds that can grow on crops and foodstuffs. Masked mycotoxins are modified mycotoxins, due to this modification many cannot be detected using standard analytical techniques, for example HPLC and ELISA, and further research is needed to understand the health risks and threats from these modified compounds.Masked mycotoxin research is an area of toxicological research that has gained significant interest and momentum in recent years. The aim of this book is to provide a full picture of the topic, from the masked mycotoxin formation in plants to their catabolic fate in humans. The book also provides new insights and will highlight possible gaps in the knowledge base of this relatively new area. Edited and written by World renowned experts working within the field, this book is of interest to toxicologists and biochemists, but also food scientists and agricultural researchers working in industry and academia.
