Hazard characterization of the mycotoxins enniatins and beauvericin to identify...
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...
Defining the targets for the assessment of IgE-mediated allergenicity of new or...
Houben, Geert; Blom, Marty; Alvito, Paula; Assunção, Ricardo; Crevel, René; Fæste, Christiane Kruse; Le, Thuy-My; Madsen, Charlotte BernhardMany food innovations rely on the introduction and use of new or modified proteins. New or modified food proteins may lead to major health risks due to their inherent potential to cause food allergy. Currently, the pre-market allergenicity assessment for new or modified food proteins and protein sources relies on methods for identifying allergenic hazards based on characteristics of known allergens. However, th...
