Ozone against mycotoxins and pesticide residues in food: Current applications a...
Trombete, F.; Freitas-Silva, O.; Saldanha, T.; Venâncio, Armando; Fraga, M. E.Food safety may be compromised by the presence of chemical contaminants, such as mycotoxins and pesticide residues. Mycotoxins are natural contaminants produced by certain species of filamentous fungi and can cause toxic effects on human health. Pesticide residues are any specified substance in food resulting from the use of a pesticide with toxicological significance. To protect consumers from these toxic subs...
Simultaneous determination of Deoxynivalenol, Deoxynivalenol-3-Glucoside and Ni...
Trombete, F.; Barros, A.; Vieira, Madalena; Saldanha, Tatiana; Venâncio, Armando; Fraga, M.Deoxynivalenol-3-glucoside (D3G) is a modified mycotoxin formed by the metabolism of plants through the conjugation of deoxynivalenol (DON) with glucose. Toxicology studies of D3G for human and animal health are still under investigation, and the development of practical and reliable methods for its direct determination, especially in cereal matrices, is of great importance. In the present study, a methodology ...
