We studied the effects of damaging ears of corn in the field prior to harvest and the use of
various additives on the production of selected mycotoxins, silage fermentation, and aerobic …

The levels aflatoxins in Turkish hazelnuts have been monitored over a 3-years period (2002–
2004). Periodical sampling was made in 72 different orchards at different locations …

Natural mycoflora and co-occurrence of fumonisins and aflatoxins were evaluated in 300
freshly-harvested corn samples (2003 and 2004 crops) collected at two points of the …

In this work, we examined the mechanisms involved in the degradation of patulin by Pichia
caribbica. Our results indicate that cell-free filtrate of P. caribbica reduced patutlin content …

This work evaluated the chemical composition and mycotoxin incidence in corn silage from
5 Brazilian dairy-producing regions: Castro, in central-eastern Paraná State (n= 32); Toledo …

Ear rots caused by Fusarium spp. are among the main fungal diseases that contribute to
poor quality and the contamination of maize grains with mycotoxins. This study aimed to …

Taking into account the preliminary antagonistic/biodegradation property showed by Pichia
membranifaciens and Sporobolomyces roseus, which decreased the initial patulin …

Natural Fusarium and fumonisin contamination were evaluated in 86 stored maize samples
and correlated to damaged kernels (%). Maize samples were collected from selected …

In maize, the fungi that cause Fusarium ear rot result not only in decreased grain yield and
quality, but also grain contamination by fumonisin. This study investigated the inheritance of …

The objective of this study was to understand the maize production chain in the Republic of
Honduras, and to identify potential obstacles hindering grain end-quality. Seventy-one …
