Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by fungi in a wide
range of foods (cereals, peanut, tree nuts, dried fruits, coffee,
cocoa, grapes, spices...) both in the field and after harvest,
particularly during storage. They can also be found in processed
foods of plant origin, or by transfer, in food products of animal
(milk, eggs, meat and offal). Mycotoxins are of major concern since
they can cause acute or chronic intoxications in both humans and
animals which are sometimes fatal. Many countries, particularly in
Europe, have set maximum acceptable levels for mycotoxins in food
and feed. The book reviews the latest literature and innovations on
important aspects of mycotoxins, e.g. mycotoxin producing fungi and
the related ecosystems, mycotoxin occurrence, toxicity, analysis
and management. Quantitative estimations of impacts of climate
change on mycotoxin occurrence have been made recently, using
predictive modelling. There is also a growing interest in the
occurrence and toxicity of multiple mycotoxins in food and feed,
including emerging or modified forms of mycotoxins. Innovative
tools were also developed to detect and quantify toxinogenic fungi
and their toxins. In order to reduce the use of chemicals that are
harmful to the environment and health of consumers, alternative
methods of prevention and decontamination of mycotoxins were tested
in pre- and post-harvest, using microorganisms, natural substances
or radiation treatments.
