Exposure to certain types of mycotoxins, the bioactive secondary
metabolites of filamentous fungi, significantly impact the animal
industry as well as human health. The contamination of food with
mycotoxins is a worldwide problem in animal production and direct
consequences are the reducing of food intake and production. In
this book, the authors increase the public awareness of the
implications of certain types of mycotoxins exposure to promote the
health of livestock as well as the general public; an analysis of
trichothecens (TCEs), a large group of mycotoxins, and their impact
on lifestock health and production are also examined, as well as
the occurrence of mycotoxins in animal products such as goat milk.
Different strategies implemented for the analysis of a wide
spectrum of mycotoxins, as well as their advantages and
disadvantages are provided by the authors. In the next few
chapters, the occurrence of mycotoxins in cereals and cereal
products and in particular, their toxic properties are looked at; a
discussion on deoxynivalenol (DON) and related 8-ketotrichothecene
mycotoxins, which are extensively distributed in cereal-based foods
and feed stuffs worldwide are reviewed; potential toxigenic fungi
from diverse habitats are identified with special emphasis on the
methods as well as on the genetic markers employed; the importance
of performing exposure assessments to Aflatoxin B and some of the
most important aspects to consider in the risk assessment process,
including the simultaneous presence of other mycotoxins and the
challenge of choosing the most suitable method to perform exposure
assessment are analyzed; and finally, a review of the occurrence of
dietary mycotoxins in Africa as well as the advances in analytical
methods of mycotoxin extraction and detection over the last decade
is provided.
