Phthalates: Toxicology and Food Safety – a Review
MIKULA P., SVOBODOVÁ Z., SMUTNÁ M. (2005): Phthalates: toxicology and food safety – a review. Czech J. Food Sci., 23: 217–223. Phthalates are organic substances used mainly as plasticisers in the manufacture of plastics. They are ubiquitous in the environment. Although tests in rodents have demonstrated numerous negative effects of phthalates, it is still unclear whether the exposure to phthala...
متن کاملFood Safety, Toxicology and Utilization of Mycotoxin-contaminated Grain
Cereal crop plants are colonized by many fungal species such as Aspergillus ochraceus and Penicillium verrucosum, which produce ochratoxins, and Fusarium graminearum, which produces trichothecene mycotoxins. A multiplex real-time PCR method using TaqMan probes was developed to simultaneously detect and quantify trichothecene producing Fusarium species and ochratoxin A producing Penicillium and ...

متن کاملFood Safety, Toxicology and Utilization of Contaminated Grain
Barley is affected by Fusarium head blight. The mycotoxins produced by F. graminearum affect the grain safety, malting and beer quality. Barley can be irradiated with electron beam radiation to reduce the fungal contamination, but there may be some Fusarium strains which can survive, grow and produce mycotoxins as irradiated barley is malted. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was...
متن کاملFood for Thought ... Green Toxicology
Historically, early identification and characterization of adverse effects of industrial chemicals was difficult because conventional toxicological test methods did not meet R&D needs for rapid, relatively inexpensive methods amenable to small amounts of test material. The pharmaceutical industry now front-loads toxicity testing, using in silico, in vitro, and less demanding animal tests at ear...
