The route of mycotoxins in the grape food chain
Gonçalves, Ana Paula Monteiro; Palumbo, Roberta; Guimarães, Ana Cristina Silva Esperança; Gkrillas, Athanasios; DallAsta, Chiara; Dorne, Jean-LouGrapes are consumed throughout the world in different ways, ranging from fresh fruit to processed products. Regardless of the product, risk management starts in preharvest stages to control initial development of mycotoxigenic fungi and avoid consequent problems in the whole chain. The main concern in grapes and grape products is the presence of black Aspergillus species and the subsequent production of ochrato...
Mycotoxins in maize: mitigation actions, with a chain management approach
Palumbo, Roberta; Gonçalves, Ana; Gkrillas, Athanasios; Logrieco, Antonio; Dorne, Jean-Lou; Dallasta, Chiara; Venâncio, Armando; Battilani, PaolaMaize is the principal staple food/feed crop exposed to mycotoxins, and the co-occurrence of multiple mycotoxins and their metabolites has been well documented. This review presents the infection cycle, ecology, and plant-pathogen interactions of Aspergillus and Fusarium species in maize, and current knowledge on maize chain management to mitigate the occurrence of aflatoxins and fumonisins. Preventive actions ...
Occurrence and co-occurrence of mycotoxins in cereal-based feed and food
Palumbo, Roberta; Crisci, Alfonso; Venâncio, Armando; Cortiñas Abrahantes, José; Dorne, Jean-Lou; Battilani, Paola; Toscano, PieroDietary (co)-exposure to mycotoxins is associated with human and animal health concerns as well as economic losses. This study aims to give a data-based insight from the scientific literature on the (co-)occurrence of mycotoxins (i.e., parent and modified forms) in European core cereals, and to estimate potential patterns of co-exposure in humans and animals. Mycotoxins were mainly reported in wheat and maize s...
