Fumonisins: Impact on Agriculture, Food, and Human Health and their Management Strategies

Abstract: The fumonisins producing fungi, Fusarium spp., are ubiquitous in nature and contaminate several food matrices that pose detrimental health hazards on humans as well as on animals. This has necessitated profound research for the control and management of the toxins to guarantee better health of consumers. This review highlights the chemistry and biosynthesis process of the fumonisins, their occurrence, effect on agriculture and food, along with their associated health issues. In addition, the focus has been put… Show more

“…However, Fusarium verticillioides, Fusarium proliferatum, and other Fusarium spp. cause higher fumonisin contaminations with FB1 (Frisvad et al, 2007;Kamle et al, 2019). Co-occurrence of fumonisin producing Fusaria and black Aspergilli in the kernels of maize may influence the observed FB1/FB2 ratios (Logrieco et al, 2011;Susca et al, 2014).…”

“…Fumonisins are among the most significant agricultural toxin. Although these mycotoxins are mainly produced by Fusarium species, like F. verticillioides and F. proliferatum, this paper focuses mostly on fumonisins produced by Aspergillus species (Kamle et al, 2019). Fumonisins can cause serious loss to agricultural production of cereals both in the field and during storage and can be dangerous to animals and humans as well (Mudili et al, 2014).…”

“…Their highest amounts are found in maize and maize-based products. Health issues linked to FBs are cancer of the esophagus, hepatocarcinoma, the stimulation and suppression of the immune system, and defects in the neural tube [47]. MLs set for the sum of FBs set in EU are from 200 to 1000 µg/kg for different kinds of maize-based products [33].…”

“…Fumonisins of group B have been widely studied due to their prevalence and toxicological effects. In particular, fumonisin B 1 (FB 1 ) is related to chronic effects in human health, e.g., hepatocarcinoma, nephrotoxicity, suppression of the immune system and defects in the neural-tubes [24]. In addition, this mycotoxin has been classified by the IARC as a group 2B (possible carcinogen for humans) [25].…”
