Multi-Mycotoxins in Baby Food
Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by molds, without biochemical significance in fungal growth and development. Although they have existed since ancient times, the term mycotoxins appeared in 1960 when 100 000 turkey poults died due to the ingestion of peanut contaminated with secondary metabolites from Aspergillus flavus.
Mycotoxins are compounds with various chemical structures and, therefore, various biological effects in animals and humans such as toxic, carcinogenic, estrogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic, and immunotoxic effects.
In Europe, Commission Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 and its amendments set maximum residue levels (MRLs) for 13 mycotoxins.
Jasem multi-mycotoxin method analyzes 10 mycotoxins in one injection and HT-2 and DON are analyzed in second injection with same sample, same column and same instrument parameters except HPLC program.
