Mycotoxins, toxic compounds produced by fungi on raw materials, such as cereals, represent a serious health hazard. Animals are exposed to them mainly through the ingestion of contaminated feed. This study presents data about presence and co-occurrence nine mycotoxins: aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, G2, ochratoxins A B, zearalenone (ZEA), deoxynivalenol (DON), sterigmatocystin (STER), in 400 samples compound feed for cattle, pigs, poultry, sheep (100 each) collected Spain (2019–2020). Aflatoxins,...

With the aim of assessing ochratoxin A (OTA) contamination in wines from a Spanish northern region and influence harvest conditions, following samples were analysed: 40 (28 red 12 white) obtained grapes cultivated three different places Navarra, but years, 20 1997 1998. Wine provided by viticultural experimental station with very consistent controlled cultural enological practices. high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method fluorescence detection immunoaffinity columns was employed...

A study of the effect coffee processing in ochratoxin (OTA) level has been carried out from green beans to drinking form. The analysis OTA by an in-house validated HPLC method with fluorescence detection. limits detection were 0.04 µg/kg for and roasted coffee, 0.01 µg/L brew. Thirty-six samples different origin (Colombia, Costa Rica, Brazil, Vietnam, India Uganda) analysed. highest concentrations found Vietnamese – Robusta species treated dry (range 0.64–8.05 µg/kg), that also showed...

Mycotoxins are toxic compounds for humans and animals that produced by fungi. Mycotoxin contamination in feed is a global safety concern effective control of these this matrix needed. This study proposes simple, cost-effective analytical method based on liquid chromatography coupled with fluorescence detector, which suitable the routine monitoring some most important mycotoxins feed: aflatoxins (G2, G1, B2, B1), zearalenone, ochratoxins A B. extraction, chromatographic separation...

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence shelling process on presence ochratoxin A (OTA) in cocoa samples. Twenty-two samples were analysed for determination OTA before (cocoa bean) and after undergoing manual nib). In order determine contamination samples, a validated high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method with fluorescence detection used quantitative analysis (OTA). both types extracted methanol–3% sodium hydrogen carbonate solution then purified using...

Some epidemiological studies with different levels of evidence have pointed to a higher risk Parkinson's disease (PD) after exposure environmental toxicants. A practically unexplored potential etiological factor is group naturally-occurring fungal secondary metabolites called mycotoxins. The mycotoxin ochratoxin (OTA) has been reported be neurotoxic in mice. To further identify if OTA could role PD pathology, Balb/c mice were orally treated (0.21, 0.5 mg/kg bw) four weeks and left for six...
