Mycotoxins:—are they a major or a minor health hazard?foodshealth hazardshistorytoxinsThe evidence reviewed does not allow an answer to the question in the title but it is clear that the dangers cannot be ignored. The author explains the history of the toxins, how they get into food, ...
For example, to regulate the allowable Salmonella concentration in raw meat, mycotoxins in cereals, or the amounts of individual chemicals that may be used as a food additive. There is also national level legislation, and for example in the U.K., the Foods Standards Agency has responsibility ...
Particles and fibres affect human health as a function of their properties such as chemical composition, size and shape but also depending on complex interactions in an organism that occur at various levels between particle uptake and target organ responses. While particulate pollution is one of the...
The Hidden Hazard of Mold: Mycotoxins Unknown to many, the pervasive problem of mold presents a concealed health risk in the form of mycotoxins. These toxic compounds are produced by molds and carry significant health effects that many, especially those in theNew York Tri-State Areaand Long Isl...
Thus, to verify if different mycotoxins, either alone or in combination, could specifically damage cartilage, and to obtain more evidence about the relationship between mycotoxins and KBD prevalence, we compared the potential of T-2 toxin and/or DON to cause toxicity in cartilage, as well as he...
Table 1.Concentrations of the antifungal agents employed in the study: commercial biological fungicide (Serenade ASO), commercial chemical fungicide (Horizon), and BCA (CIMO-BCA1). The chemical fungicide Horizon®(oil in water with 250 g/L of tebuconazole, hereinafter designated as HOR) was use...
Better knowledge about histone PTMs would make it possible to efficiently fight plant or human contamination, avoid the production of toxic secondary metabolites, or optimize the industrial biosynthesis of certain beneficial compounds. Keywords: chromatin; mycotoxins; metabolites; histone code Key ...
Currently, there is no evidence that hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP), a systematic preventive approach to food safety from biological, chemical, and physical hazards, are used during the production of palm wine among local processors. Many workers [7,8,9] have studied the ...

Introduction Humans are continuously exposed to mycotoxins in the natural environment, particularly from foods. While their role in the development of various pediatric diseases ...
Ability to cross biological barriers: The ability to enter organisms is strongly related to lipophilicity. Thus, it can be affected by many factors, such as the pH [82] or the length of the alkyl chain. Thus, the toxicity can be modified depending on the charge, and on the number of ca...
