Mykotoxinrisiken
Mykotoxinrisiken refers to the potential health hazards associated with the consumption of food and feed contaminated with mycotoxins, which are toxic secondary metabolites produced by certain fungi. These toxins can accumulate in crops, grains, and other agricultural products, posing significant risks to human health and animal welfare. Common mycotoxins include aflatoxins, ochratoxin A, fumonisins, and deoxynivalenol (DON), among others.
Aflatoxins, produced by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus, are particularly dangerous as they are known to
The risks associated with mycotoxins are exacerbated by factors such as climate change, which can alter the
