Behr, Anne-Cathrin; Fæste, Christiane Kruse; Azqueta, Amaya; Tavares, Ana M.; Spyropoulou, Anastasia; Solhaug, Anita; Olsen, Ann-KarinEnniatins (ENNs) and beauvericin (BEA) are cyclic hexadepsipeptide fungal metabolites which have demonstrated antibiotic, antimycotic, and insecticidal activities. The substantial toxic potentials of these mycotoxins are associated with their ionophoric molecular properties and relatively high lipophilicities. ENNs occur extensively in grain and grain-derived products and are considered a food safety issue by t...
Hazard characterization of Alternaria toxins to identify data gaps and improve ...
Louro, Henriqueta; Vettorazzi, Ariane; López de Cerain, Adela; Spyropoulou, Anastasia; Solhaug, Anita; Straumfors, Anne; Behr, Anne-CathrinFungi of the genus Alternaria are ubiquitous plant pathogens and saprophytes which are able to grow under varying temperature and moisture conditions as well as on a large range of substrates. A spectrum of structurally diverse secondary metabolites with toxic potential has been identified, but occurrence and relative proportion of the different metabolites in complex mixtures depend on strain, substrate, and g...
Mineral oil risk assessment: knowledge gaps and roadmap. Outcome of a multi-sta...
Hochegger, Andrea; Moret, Sabrina; Geurts, Lucie; Gude, Thomas; Leitner, Erich; Mertens, Birgit; O'Hagan, Susan; Poças, Fátima; Simat, Thomas J.Background: In recent years there have been significant advancements in the understanding of mineral oil hydrocarbons (MOH) in foods and their potential risk to health. However, important gaps in knowledge remain, such as the lack of validated and standardized analytical methods for relevant food matrices and gaps in assessing the risk for consumers’ health. Scope & approach: A workshop was organized by the Eur...
