Review of the most important mycotoxins

摘要

This study briefly describes the history of myeotoxins and gives a general overview of the most frequently detected mycotoxins. The discovery, chemical structure, producers, as well as the occurrence of mycotoxins have been discussed. Mycotoxins are substances produced by microscopic fungi of non-protein nature. They are toxic for humans and animals. First verify records about toxicity of molded food are from the end of last century from Japan (43). Some of them are connected to traditional experience of people from East Asia. Primarily, experience of people with yellow rice area described. Yellow rice dried (in thin layer) on direct sun lost its toxicity (photolysis of mycotoxin citreviridin).
