Modern analytical techniques can determine a multitude of fungal metabolites contaminating
food and feed. In addition to known mycotoxins, for which maximum levels in food are …

Emerging Fusarium and Alternaria mycotoxins gain more and more interest due to their
frequent contamination of food and feed, although in vivo toxicity and toxicokinetic data are …

Alternaria is a ubiquitous fungal genus in many ecosystems, consisting of species and
strains that can be saprophytic, endophytic, or pathogenic to plants or animals, including …

Alternaria molds are known to cause the contamination of food with their secondary
metabolites, a chemically very heterogeneous group of compounds. Yet, after decades of …

The genus Alternaria is widely distributed in the environment. Numerous species of the
genus Alternaria can produce a variety of toxic secondary metabolites, called Alternaria …

The postharvest life of fruits and vegetables is influenced by several parameters, such as
physiological properties and biotic/abiotic stresses. In particular, a consistent portion of the …

Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by pathogenic fungi that colonize fruits and
vegetables either during harvesting or during storage. Mycotoxin contamination in fruits and …

Alternaria species are common saprophytes or pathogens of a wide range of plants pre-and
post-harvest. This review considers the relative importance of Alternaria species, their …

Mycotoxins produced by Alternaria fungi are ubiquitous food contaminants, but analytical
methods for generating comprehensive exposure data are rare. We describe the …

The genus Alternaria includes more than 250 species. The traditional methods for
identification of Alternaria species are based on morphological characteristics of the …
