Mycotoxins, the secondary metabolites of fungal species, are the most frequently occurring
natural food contaminants in human and animal diets. Risk assessment of mycotoxins …

Fungi produce mycotoxins in the presence of appropriate temperature, humidity, sufficient
nutrients and if the density of the mushroom mass is favorable. Although all mycotoxins are …

In case of mycotoxin contaminations, food and feedstuff are usually contaminated by more
