A global approach for the elimination of mycotoxins

摘要

Are mycotoxins increasingly contaminating the food chain and thus threatening the survival of mankind? Although it may seem like it, that is not the case. It is true that hundreds of mycotoxins were detected during the last few decades. It is true that research each year elucidates extra effects which are caused by mycotoxins; invariably effects with a negative impact on performance, health or well being.However, the basic message could be an optimistic one. Having been unaware of most mycotoxin effects until recently, the increased knowledge creates methods to better understand such effects and thus develop products that better eliminate mycotoxins.
