Mycotoxins: an Overview on Their Quantification Methods
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by several filamentous fungi that grow on various food and feed. These compounds elicit a wide spectrum of toxicological effects, representing a health risk for both, humans and animals. Mycotoxin analysis is an important tool in controlling fungal contamination of food and feed. This article reviews the techniques used for their determination, and the advantages and limitations of each method are critically discussed.

متن کاملAn Overview of Conventional and Emerging Analytical Methods for the Determination of Mycotoxins
Mycotoxins are a group of compounds produced by various fungi and excreted into the matrices on which they grow, often food intended for human consumption or animal feed. The high toxicity and carcinogenicity of these compounds and their ability to cause various pathological conditions has led to widespread screening of foods and feeds potentially polluted with them. Maximum permissible levels ...
