Determination of Mycotoxins in Food

Harnessing the Intrinsic Chemical Reactivity of the Mycotoxin Patulin for Immunosensing

“…To mitigate the risks associated with mycotoxins, maximum allowable levels have been established internationally for both raw materials and processed foods. Although hundreds of mycotoxins have been identified to date, only a limited groupincluding aflatoxins, ochratoxin A, fumonisins, deoxynivalenol, zearalenone, and patulinis subject to international regulation. − Analytical methods are essential tools for regulatory agencies to ensure high standards of food and feed safety. Alongside a variety of analytical methods, − antibody-based approaches are widely employed in the agri-food industry and by official laboratories for the analysis of regulated mycotoxins.…”
