Fungicide carbendazim can some times be used to combat mold on citrus fruits including oranges. Recently, low residue levels of the fungicide were reported to be present in the bulk orange juice import shipments to the USA. Because this compound can persist through processing steps and may be found in the final consumer product, many government agencies have established maximum residue limits ...

Mycotoxins are toxicmetabolites of fungi such asmoulds. Fungal infection of crops can lead to mycotoxin contamination of human food, either directly or through its use as livestock feed. Some mycotoxins showa particularly high toxicity towards humans, such as the type A Trichothecene mycotoxins T-2 toxin and HT-2 toxin (Figure 1). For these reasons, regulations governing the mycotoxin content of ...

Some fungal genera like Aspergillus, Fusarium, Penicillium, etc. produce mycotoxins. These toxic secondary metabolites are harmful to animal and human health if they enter the food chain via contaminated crops and fruits or through processed food and feed products. Therefore, in at least 100 countries limits are set for mycotoxin levels for food and feed. For a precise detection of all regulated ...

Aflatoxins were isolated and characterized during the 1960’s after the deaths of over 100,000 turkey poults on farms in Great Britain from what had been referred to as “Turkey X” disease.1,2 Aflatoxins are mycotoxins, structurally related compounds produced as secondary metabolites by Aspergillus molds, primarily flavus and parasiticus. 3,4 Investigations in Great Britain traced ...

Mycotoxins are a diverse group comprised of hundreds of secondary metabolic products of various fungal species. Several show marked toxicity in humans. Contamination of the food supply with mycotoxins is increasingly prevalent, and can occur during growth, harvest, transportation, processing or storage. Techniques to reduce mycotoxin concentration after contamination are expensive, unreliable and ...

The health benefits of avocado are associated with its high content of healthy fat, fiber, vitamins and minerals. Avocado consumption in the United States has steadily grown, with sources of the fruit being both domestic and imported.1 The fat content of avocado is typically in the range of 10-15%, and this can pose a special analytical challenge when doing pesticide residue analysis. If fat is ...
