The investigation of the mycotoxin bioaccumulation in human and animals is of wide relevance due to the potential toxicity associated with these secondary metabolites. This study proposes an analytical methodology consisting of salting-out liquid-liquid extraction (SALLE) followed by dispersive...

The estrogenic mycotoxin zearalenone (ZEN) is a common contaminant of animal feed. Effective strategies for the inactivation of ZEN in feed are required. The ZEN-degrading enzyme zearalenone hydrolase ZenA (EC 3.1.1.-, commercial name ZENzyme®, BIOMIN Holding GmbH, Getzersdorf, Austria) converts...

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a mycotoxin produced by several moulds of Aspergillus and Penicillium genera on many agricultural commodities used for feed production. It is primarily a nephrotoxic substance, but it can also cause immunosuppression in pigs and increase their susceptibility to infections. ...

With the increase in global human population, people living longer, and relocating from the countryside to urban centres, it is expected that the demand for animal food products will increase. Animal production competes with humans for basic grains. However, humans only consume ~30% of crops...

Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a mycotoxin that is produced by the Fusarium genus and is widely found in cereal grains such as wheat and corn. Sodium metabisulphite (SMBS) is a promising feed additive in swine farming to mitigate the negative impact caused by DON on animal growth. Here we report on an...

The small intestinal epithelium is regulated in response to various beneficial or harmful environmental information. Deoxynivalenol (DON), a mycotoxin widely distributed in cereal-based feeds, induces oxidative stress damage in the intestine due to the mitochondrial stress. As a functional...

Deoxynivalenol (DON) is universally detected trichothecene in most cereal commodities, which is considered as a major hazardous material for human and animal health. Intestine is the most vulnerable organ with higher concentration of DON than other organs, owing to the first defense barrier...

Certain Fusarium species and strains are potential producers of three most important classes of mycotoxins: fumonisins (FB1, FB2, FB3); zearalenone (ZEA) and trichothecenes, such as deoxynivalenol (DON), nivalenol (NIV), or HT-2 toxin and T-2 toxin. The ingestion consequences of these fungal...

This special issue contains 10 articles that discuss, of which 5 are review articles, provide an overview of recent advancements in the development of analytical methods and fabrication of nanomaterial-based sensors for the analysis of food-based toxins. These toxins include pesticides, mycotoxins, ...
