The occurrence of ochratoxin A in coffee.
Ochratoxin A (OA) is a nephrotoxic and nephrocarcinogenic mycotoxin which is predominantly produced by the two ubiquitous fungal genera, Aspergillus and Penicillium. OA is found in foodstuffs, predominantly in cereals but also in coffee beans. Inconsistent results have been published regarding the influence of roasting on the OA content in roasted beans and the transfer into the coffee brew. In...
متن کاملCoffee Insects: Ecology and Control
Coffee is one of the most important agricultural commodities in the world and is grown in more than 50 countries throughout the tropics. Several insect pests have been reported in coffee, the most important being the coffee leaf miner, the coffee berry borer, and the coffee stem borers. The basic biology of these insects is discussed.
متن کاملTransfer of Ochratoxin A into Tea and Coffee Beverages
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is nephrotoxic, hepatotoxic, immunotoxic, neurotoxic, reprotoxic, teratogenic, and carcinogenic (group 2B), being characterized by species and sex differences in sensitivity. Despite the fact that OTA is in some aspects a controversial topic, OTA is the most powerful renal carcinogen. The aim of this study was to make a small survey concerning OTA content in black tea, fruit ...
متن کاملPenicillium species endophytic in coffee plants and ochratoxin A production.
Tissues from Coffea arabica, C. congensis, C. dewevrei and C. liberica collected in Colombia, Hawaii and at a local plant nursery in Maryland were sampled for the presence of fungal endophytes. Surface sterilized tissues including roots, leaves, stems and various berry parts were plated on yeast-malt agar. DNA was extracted from a set of isolates visually recognized as Penicillium, and the inte...
متن کاملTesting green coffee for ochratoxin A, part II: Observed distribution of ochratoxin A test results.
The suitability of 4 theoretical distributions (normal, lognormal, negative binomial, and gamma) to predict the observed distribution of ochratoxin A (OTA) in green coffee was investigated. One symmetrical and 3 positively skewed theoretical distributions were each fitted to 25 empirical distributions of OTA test results for green coffee beans. Parameters of each theoretical distribution were c...
