Climate change has been reported as a driver for emerging food and feed safety issues worldwide its expected impact on the presence of mycotoxins in is great concern. Aflatoxins have highest acute chronic toxicity all mycotoxins; hence, maximal concentration agricultural products their commodities regulated worldwide. The possible patterns aflatoxin occurrence crops due to climate matter concern that may require anticipatory actions. aim this study was predict contamination maize wheat...
A collaborative study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of an immunoaffinity column cleanup liquid chromatography (LC) method for determination aflatoxin B1 and total aflatoxins at European regulatory limits. The test portion is extracted with methanol-water (8 + 2) dried figs paprika, plus hexane (or cyclohexane) peanut butter pistachios. sample extract filtered, diluted phosphate buffer saline, applied column. washed water are eluted methanol. Aflatoxins quantitated by...
The analytical scenario for determining contaminants in the food and feed sector is constantly prompted by progress improvement of knowledge expertise researchers technical innovation instrumentation available. Mycotoxins are agricultural fungal origin occurring at all latitudes worldwide being characterized acute chronic effects on human health animal wellness, depending species sensitivity. major mycotoxins concern aflatoxin B1 ochratoxin A, first its toxicity, second recurrent occurrence....
This review summarises developments in the determination of mycotoxins over a period between mid-2015 and mid-2016. Analytical methods to determine aflatoxins, Alternaria toxins, ergot alkaloids, fumonisins, ochratoxins, patulin, trichothecenes zearalenone are covered individual sections. Advances proper sampling strategies discussed dedicated section, as used analyse botanicals spices newly developed liquid chromatography mass spectrometry based multi-mycotoxin methods. critical aims...
A study was performed to evaluate the contamination by ochratoxin in coffee beans. Twenty-nine samples of green were collected from large lots material representative sampling. The analyses showed a significantly high percentage (58%) ranging 0.2 15 micrograms/kg. Naturally and artificially contaminated roasted at different operation times (5-6 min) verify destruction mycotoxin. ranged 48% 87% 90% 100% naturally respectively. beverages prepared using most common types makers no residues A.
Objectives: Gene-environment interaction is an emerging hypothesis to expound not only the autism pathogenesis but also increased incidence of neurodevelopmental disorders (such as autistic spectrum disorder, attention-deficit, hyperactivity disorder). Among xenobiotics, mycotoxins are worldwide contaminants food that provoke toxicological effects, crucially resembling several symptoms associated with such oxidative stress, intestinal permeability, and inflammation. Here, we focused on a...
This review summarises developments in the determination of mycotoxins over a period between mid-2014 and mid-2015. In tradition with previous articles this series, analytical methods to determine aflatoxins, Alternaria toxins, ergot alkaloids, fumonisins, ochratoxins, patulin, trichothecenes zearalenone are covered individual sections. Advances proper sampling strategies discussed dedicated section, as new used analyse botanicals spices newly developed LC-MS based multi-mycotoxin methods....
Environmental factors and genetic susceptibility are implicated in the increased risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Mycotoxins agricultural contaminants fungal origin that represent real for human health especially children. Thus, main hypothesis this work is deterioration clinical manifestation children may result from exposure to mycotoxins through consumption contaminated food. Within a cross-sectional study, group autistic (n = 172) controls 61) (siblings non-parental) were...
Deoxynivalenol (DON), the mycotoxin produced mainly by Fusarium graminearum and found in contaminated cereal-based foodstuff, has been consistently detected body fluids adults. Available data children adolescents are scarce. This study assessed urinary DON concentrations aged 3–9 years (n = 40) 10–17 39) UK. Morning urine samples were collected over two consecutive days analysed for free (un-metabolised form), DON-glucuronides (DON-GlcA), deepoxy deoxynivalenol (DOM-1), total (sum of DON,...
Aflatoxins are metabolites of molds that exert potentially toxic effect on animals and humans. This study aimed to investigate the occurrence aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) in raw cow milk collected during 1 year (2016-2017) from different regions Algeria risk factors associated with contamination.During survey period, 84 samples were three (northeast, north center, northwest) four seasons. AFM1 levels analyzed by competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.AFM1 was detected 39 (46.43%) (total mean...
In order to estimate the incidence of ochratoxin A (OA) in biological fluids, a study was carried out determine concentration OA breast milk donor mothers Italy. Out 111 samples, 22 were contaminated range 0.1-12 micrograms/kg.
