Levels of mycotoxin contamination in agricultural commodities are
regulated in more than 100 countries, and exposure to these
naturally occurring toxins presents serious risks to the health of
humans and animals with negative impacts to commodity values. This
symposium series book presents significant scientific developments
in the multifaceted approach to reducing exposure to these
naturally occurring toxins. A broad-spectrum of subject matter of
the multidisciplinary field of mycotoxin research is conveniently
compiled in this single volume, and general themes include
prevention, control, exposure, molecular biology, biosynthesis,
analytical methodology, and emerging techniques. The book opens
with an overview of prevention of mycotoxin production by means of
biological control and human exposure to contaminated foods,
including tofu, apples, figs, and a broad range of fruits.
The second section focuses on molecular biological approaches to
control mycotoxin exposure. Topics covered include genomic
approaches, detoxification, structure-activity studies of
biosynthetic precursors, and mycotoxin biosynthesis. The success of
these strategies is supported by the reduction of mycotoxin
occurrence and incidence in foods. Accurate estimates of mycotoxin
concentration in foods are important for food safety and
wholesomeness.
The final section covers analytical approaches, including sampling
plans for foods and dietary supplements, extraction efficiency of
mycotoxins from naturally contaminated grains, traditional
detection methods such as chromatography/mass spectrometry, and
emerging techniques such as the use of molecularly imprinted
polymers for purification and isolation and cyclodextrins for
fluorescent enhancement of several mycotoxins.
