Mycotoxin mixtures in food and feed: holistic, innovative, flexible risk assess...
Battilani, Paola; Palumbo, Roberta; Giorni, Paola; Dall’Asta, Chiara; Dellafiora, Luca; Gkrillas, Athanasios; Toscano, Piero; Crisci, AlfonsoMycotoxins are toxic compounds mainly produced by fungi of the genera Aspergillus, Penicillium and Fusarium. They are present, often as mixtures, in many feed and food commodities including cereals, fruits and vegetables. Their ubiquitous presence represents a major challenge to the health and well being of humans and animals. Hundreds of compounds are listed as possible mycotoxins occurring in raw and processe...
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...
Mycotoxin mixtures in food and feed: a holistic, innovative, flexible modelling...
Battilani, Paola; DallAsta, Chiara; Brera, Carlo; Campbell, K.; Crisci, A.; De Santis, Barbara; Gkrillas, A.; Gonçalves, Ana Paula Monteiro; Oswald, I.Mycotoxin contamination can occur in many agricultural products both destined to food and feed. Mycotoxins are produced as the result of fungal metabolism and plant-pathogen interaction. Therefore, many structurally-related congeners, defined as modified mycotoxins are generated by plant &/or fungi metabolism, or food processing, and coexist with their native forms. Studies investigating the co-occurrence of mu...
