Safety Aspect in Soybean Food and Feed Chains: Fungal and Mycotoxins Contamination

Soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) is an Asiatic leguminous plant cultivated in many parts of the world for its oil and proteins, which are extensively used in the manufacture of animal and human foodstuffs (FAO, 2004a; Hepperly, 1985).

Mycotoxins in Feed for Pigs and Poultry

Mycological and mycotoxicological analysis of many feedingstuffs and complete mashes for different animal species and categories have showen that the feed safety problem has been present for years. It is approved that mouldy feed can contain various mycotoxins, but among them in our conditions the most investigated are aflatoxins, ochratoxins, zearalenone and some trichotecenes. Based on labora...

Mycotoxins in Norwegian food and feed

Mycotoxins are toxic secondary fungal metabolites. A large variety of mycotoxins have been described, but only a minority of them occur regularly in feed and food items under normal conditions and pose a risk to feed and food safety. The important moulds producing toxins during storage belong to the genera of Penicillium, or Aspergillus. The most important storage toxins are probably ochratoxin...
