Mycotoxins
Welcome to the page about Mycotoxins of Engormix; a source of knowledge on Mycotoxins.
In the first half of 2023, Life Rainbow mycotoxin analysis lab collected 141 feed samples of raw materials and feed mills in farms and analyzed them. The survey provides essential information on the feed pollution situation of Aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, and G2), Zearalenone, Fumonisins (B1, B2, and B3) and deoxynivalenol (DON) in Taiwan. All the samples were analyzed using ELISA Mycotoxin analysis kit. Results: 141 feed samples were collected, and 80.1% were...

This study was investigating the effects of a defined concentration of Fusarium mycotoxins, deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZON) incorporated into feeds on growth performance of pigs and the alleviating effects of a mycotoxin degrading enzyme (MDE) on the toxicity of Fusarium mycotoxins. A total of 48 weaning pigs was randomly allotted to four treatments for a 6-week challenged trial. The MDE product was a kind of mycotoxin degradation enzyme with esterase, epoxidase and...

Introduction Zearalenone (ZEA) is a worldwide distributed mycotoxin as indicated by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). 1–3 Its toxicity and incidence was confirmed by recent reports. 4,5 This resorcylic lactone is produced mainly by Fusarium graminearum and is one of the most important toxins causing serious reproductive failures in pig production, due to its ability to couple 17--estradiol receptors. This interference with cytosolic...

Introduction Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by various fungi in a variety of commodities and foods. These compounds are not directly involved in the basic functioning of fungi, but some appear to play a “chemical offense” role and increase the susceptibility of the host organism to further fungal infection 1 . As suggested by their name, mycotoxins can cause toxic effects when consumed. The potential harmful effects of mycotoxins vary and a...

BACKGROUND The momentum of scientific paper publication toward mycotoxin is an increasing trend where 16,821 papers were recorded in Scopus since the first mycotoxin, aflatoxin (AF) was identified in the year 1965. Data clearly showed the significance of mycotoxin research which will be further discussed later in this review paper. Nevertheless, the global health issue arose from mycotoxin is still frequently ignored in many low-income countries, where mycotoxins affect staple...

Introduction It is well known that weeds can negatively affect agricultural production [1]. Weeds represent one of the greatest limiting factors for crop yield [2] since they can compete for resources such as water, light, nutrients and space, thereby diminishing plant growth [3, 4]. In addition, weeds may harbour other potentially harmful pests and pathogens that can affect economically important crops [5]. Weeds are conventionally controlled using manual, mechanical and...

1. Introduction Saffron (Crocus sativus L.) is a monocotyledonous spice crop, believed to have originated in Persia. This spice has been cultivated since ancient times, and it is highly valued for its red stigmas. When dried, these stigmas, either with or without a yellow-white style portion attached, yield the spice, which possesses distinctive colouring, flavouring, and aromatic properties. The spice owes its colouring capacity, bitter taste, and pleasant aroma to its main...

Introduction Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a fungal disease of major concern to wheat production. In Brazil, the disease is caused by members of the Fusarium graminearum species complex (FGSC), which infect wheat florets and contaminate grains with dangerous mycotoxins (Del Ponte et al., 2015). These fungi are able to synthesize a range of mycotoxins such as trichothecenes, mainly deoxynivalenol (DON), and zearalenone (ZEA) (Bryden, 2012). Ochratoxin A (OTA) is not a Fusarium...

INTRODUCTION Sugarcane is one of the top ten food crops in the world and an important economic crop in many tropical countries [1]. Sugarcane is infested with many plant pathogens including fungi, bacteria, and viruses as well as, insect pests. The genus Fusarium is one of the most devastating plant pathogens producing several mycotoxins [2]. Two species of Fusarium including F. subglutinans and F. sacchariare well reported to cause Pokkahboeng disease of sugarcane. Fusarium...
