Ergot alkaloids (EAs) are a group of mycotoxins that are mainly produced from the plant
pathogen Claviceps. Claviceps purpurea is one of the most important species, being a major …

This review summarises developments in the determination of mycotoxins over a period
between mid-2014 and mid-2015. In tradition with previous articles of this series, analytical …

Cereals and feed contaminated with ergot alkaloids (EAs) have been of concern for several
decades. Nowadays, analysis of EAs is focused on ergometrine, ergotamine, ergosine …

Ergot alkaloids are secondary metabolites resulting from fungi of the genus Claviceps that
have proven to be highly toxic. These mycotoxins commonly infect cereal crops such as …

Seeds of plants from Ipomoea genera contain numerous ergot alkaloids, including
psychoactive ergine and ergometrine, and are often abused as so-called “legal highs.” In …

The analysis of ergot alkaloids is generally performed by high-performance liquid
chromatography (HPLC) coupled to fluorescence detection (FLD) or mass selective …

Ergot alkaloids, naturally occurring mycotoxins of Claviceps fungi, pose health risks. This
necessitates accurate analysis methods to ensure food safety. This study explored the open …

Ergot sclerotia effect cereal crops intended for consumption. Ergot alkaloids within ergot
sclerotia are assessed to ensure contamination is below safety standards established for …

Abstract Changes in the concentrations of six major R-configuration ergot alkaloids (EA) and
their S-configuration epimers were studied during the entire process of rye sourdough bread …

The control of ergot alkaloids in biotechnological processes is important in the context of
obtaining new strain producers and studying the mechanisms of the biosynthesis …
