Any mycotoxin could be produced from many fungal species, and any fungal strain can produce many mycotoxins. ...
Precision Hydrogen Trace 250 Mycotoxins Analysis Long term storage of cannabis can result in fungal growth (mold) due to the high moisture content of cannabis. ...
The Supel Tox AflaZea SPE cartridge was used to demonstrate the cleanup of corn meal, wheat meal, and raw peanut paste matrices prior to the analysis of Aflatoxin B1, B2, G1, and G2. In the procedure, corn meal, wheat meal, and raw peanut paste extracts were spiked with Aflatoxin Standard Mix (Product No. 34036) and run through the Supel Tox AflaZea SPE cartridges. ...
Mycotoxins are fungal poisons that threaten the world food supply. Regulatory agencies have imposed limits on levels of mycotoxins allowed in food. Food safety is ensured by testing for the presence of mycotoxins by methods such as LC-MS-MS. In addition to mycotoxins, many other known and unknown chemicals threaten the food supply, however their presence might be missed by LC-MS-MS methods which ...
Although Aspergillus (Aflatoxins, Ochratoxin A) are generally associated with peanuts and Fusarium (Deoxynivalenol , Zearalenone) with wheat, these fungi and those that produce other toxins are not host selective and so can cross plant species. This situation is complicated by the fact that the microscopic mold may not be visible to the naked eye. Also, when infected grains are processed, any ...
Distillers grains (DG) are the still residues after the ethanol has been collected. Approximately 90% of US production is used in domestic animal feed. Any Mycotoxins present in the fresh corn can be concentrated by a factor of three. Contamination can also occur during storage. This raises concern about the potential animal and human health hazards from the use of Mycotoxincontaminated ...
Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) is widely used for sample clean up in mycotoxin analysis. The most commonly described methods use GPC columns packed with SX-3 BioBeads suitable for cleaning Zearalenone, Aflatoxins and Trichothesenes from edible oils and fatty matrices. ...
The identity of the fungal species is required to complete the mycotoxin analysis. The investigator would collect and submit samples to the laboratory for fungal identification by direct examination or by PCR (polymerase chain reaction) analysis first before mycotoxin analysis. ...
