Identifies and quantifies toxic comounds produced by certain molds (Aflatoxins, Ochratoxin A, Zearalenone & Trichothecenes )
Mycotoxins represent a wide range of secondary, naturally occurring and practically unavoidable fungal metabolites. They contaminate various agricultural commodities like cereals, maize, peanuts, fruits, and feed at any stage in pre- or post-harvest conditions. The risk that is posed to public health has prompted the need to develop methods of analysis and detection of mycotoxins in food and drink products. Mycotoxins wide range of structural diversity, high chemical stability, and low concentrations in tested samples require robust, effective, and comprehensible detection methods.
