Mycotoxins in Food and Beverages
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. Mycotoxins are of major concern since they can cause acute or chronic intoxications in both humans and animals which are sometimes fatal. They can also be found in processed foods of plant origin, or by transfer, in food products of animal (milk, eggs, meat and offal).
mycotoxin producing fungi and the related ecosystems, mycotoxin occurrence, toxicity, analysis and management. 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. Quantitative estimations of impacts of climate change on mycotoxin
