Mycotoxins are highly dangerous natural compounds produced by various fungi. Enzymatic
transformation seems to be the most promising method for detoxification of mycotoxins. This …

Exposure to mycotoxins, secondary metabolites produced by fungi, may infer serious risks
for animal and human health and lead to economic losses. Several approaches to reduce …

Abstract The European Commission asked EFSA to update their 2006 opinion on ochratoxin
A (OTA) in food. OTA is produced by fungi of the genus Aspergillus and Penicillium and …

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is one of the most important mycotoxins that is found in food and feed
products. It has proven toxic properties, being primarily known for its nephrotoxicity and …

As the most seriously controlled mycotoxin produced by Aspergillus spp. and Penicillium
spp., ochratoxin A (OTA) results in various toxicological effects and widely contaminates …

Several filamentous fungi representing the genera Rhizopus and Mucor were examined for
their ability to degrade ochratoxin A (OTA), aflatoxin B1, zearalenone and patulin in a liquid …

Ochratoxin A (OTA) as a carcinogenic of group 2B to humans is produced by various fungi
strains as Aspergillus and Penicillium. It is one of the most common contaminant in foodstuff …

Ochratoxins are polyketide derived fungal secondary metabolites with nephrotoxic,
immunosuppressive, teratogenic, and carcinogenic properties. Ochratoxin-producing fungi …

Pork meat-derived products can contribute to the overall ochratoxin A intake, either by carry-
over effect, or by environmental mould population cross-contamination. In order to assess …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the action of the commercial peroxidase (POD)
enzyme (Armoracia rusticana) on the simultaneous degradation of ochratoxin A (OTA) and …
