Mycotoxin production from fungi isolated from grapes.
AIMS In order to assess the potential for producing mycotoxins, fungi were isolated from wine producing grapes. METHODS AND RESULTS The isolates were identified and Penicillium expansum, the most well recognized mycotoxin producer, was analysed for mycotoxin production by TLC. Many of the strains produced patulin and/or citrinin, often depending on whether they were grown on a grape or yeast ...
متن کامل[Mycotoxin producing fungi].
Mycotoxins are relatively small molecules characterized by a diversity of chemical structure and a diversity of biological activity. They are often genotypically specific for a group of species, but the same compound can also be formed by fungi belonging to different genera. Most of the mycotoxins known have been recognized as metabolic products of Aspergillus, Penicillium and Fusarium species....
متن کاملInfluence of Temperature and Water Activity on Deleterious Fungi and Mycotoxin Production during Grain Storage
Cereal grains are the most important food source for humans. As the global population continues to grow exponentially, the need for the enhanced yield and minimal loss of agricultural crops, mainly cereal grains, is increasing. In general, harvested grains are stored for specific time periods to guarantee their continuous supply throughout the year. During storage, economic losses due to reduct...
متن کاملAn Overview on Mycotoxin Contamination of Foods in Africa
Mycotoxins are fungal secondary metabolites that contaminate various feedstuffs and agricultural crops. The contamination of food by mycotoxins can occur before production, during storage, processing, transportation or marketing of the food products. High temperature, moisture content and water activity are among the predisposing factors that facilitate the production of mycotoxins in food. Afl...
متن کاملUltraviolet Light Effects on Patulin Mycotoxin in Foods
Patulin is a mycotoxin produced by a wide range of molds involved mainly in apple spoilage and is a health concern primarily in fresh apple juice and cider. Patulin can lead to acute, but more commonly, chronic condition when consumed at levels greater than 50 ppb that is a current regulatory standard. The toxicity and high occurrence of patulin in apple cider/juice promoted to establish tolera...
