Types of Mycotoxins and different approaches used for their detection in foodstuffs

Mycotoxins are toxic complexes generated by various genera of filamentous fungi and pose severe public health hazards due to their carcinogenic mutagenic properties. Toxigenic produce mycotoxins on foodstuffs when favorable conditions for production exist. The most important mycotoxin-producing fungal Aspergillus, Fusarium Penicillium. major mycotoxin concern, including aflatoxins, trichothecenes, ochratoxins, patulin, fumonisins, zearalenone, expressively contaminate foodstuffs, with implications human animal health. There environmental factors influencing involving temperature, water activity, type, aeration, pH, light, nature substrate. temperature relative moistness range ideal generation may shift from that steady development. high stress primarily have a potential issue. A full understanding the existence in addition implementation measures overcome contamination is crucial. different analytical techniques precisely screen levels give wider overview about what common, pathogenic; along further strategies control measures. Thus, this review sampling, sample preparation methods determination been discussed.
