Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a mycotoxin produced by several species of Aspergillus and
Penicillium fungi that structurally consists of a para-chlorophenolic group containing a …

Ochratoxins (OTs) with nephrotoxic, immunosuppressive, teratogenic, and carcinogenic
properties are thermostable fungal subordinate metabolites. OTs contamination can occur …

Background Species in the ascomycete fungal genus Cordyceps have been proposed to be
the teleomorphs of Metarhizium species. The latter have been widely used as insect …

Cocoa and coffee beans are some of the most traded agricultural commodities on
international markets. Combined, they provide raw materials for a global industry valued in …

Ochratoxin A is a nephrotoxic compound which was first detected in wine in the nineties.
Since then, several grape-derived products have been found to be potentially contaminated …

Background Meat-products are considered an enriched media for mycotoxins. This study
aimed to investigate the prevalence of toxigenic Aspergillus species in processed meat …

BACKGROUND In this study, mould incidence and mycotoxin contamination were
determined in freshly harvested maize samples collected from different agroclimatic regions …

Herein, the design of a DNA‐based chiral biosensor is described utilizing the self‐assembly
of shell core–gold (Au) satellite nanostructures for the detection of mycotoxin, ochratoxin A …

Mycotoxin risk in the grape product chain is primarily due to ochratoxin A (OTA) occurrence
in wine and dried vine fruits. Aspergillus carbonarius and the A. niger group are the main …

This review was inspired by an apparent oversight. A report claimed that a gene probe
based on a regulatory gene for aflatoxins could be used selectively for screening foodstuffs …
