Background Cereals are globally consumed as staple food, providing essential nutrients to
the consumers. The emerging problems associated with cereals are mycotoxin outbreaks …

Thermally labile pesticides (captafol, captan, dicofol, and folpet) are highly prone to suffer
thermal degradation during sample introduction into a gas chromatograph (GC) to …

This research reports on the development of a method to identify and quantify fungal
biomass based on ergosterol autofluorescence using excitation-emission matrix (EEM) …

Ergosterol (ERG) is a sterol found at high levels in cell membranes of fungi and is a smart
option to be used as proof of fungal contamination in food samples. Therefore, the objective …

This study was conducted to design a biosensor as a new, rapid, and sensitive tool for
investigation of binding of zearalenone with double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) …

This study aims to focus on developing a food supplement for the geriatric population using
disposal mushrooms, oats, and lactose-free milk powder. Lactose intolerance is most …

Most of the existing methods for wheat mildew detection are biochemical methods, which
have the problems of complicated procedures and slow speed. In this paper, a novel wheat …

In this work, a novel dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction procedure was developed for
the determination of ergosterol using high-performance liquid chromatography with …

Ergosterol is a sterol produced by fungi, and it is not found in healthy barley grains. The
presence of ergosterol could be indicative of a fungal infection in grain. This study aimed to …

The aim of this study was to propose a nondestructive method for evaluating wheat kernels
infected by fungi of the genus Fusarium based on the morphological features of kernels and …
