Mycobiota and Mycotoxins in Traditional Medicinal Seeds from China
The multi-mycotoxin occurrence for internal and superficial fungi contamination were comprehensively assessed in medicinal seeds used as food or beverage. Based on a polyphasic approach using morphological characters, β-tubulin and ITS gene blast, a total of 27 species belonging to 12 genera were identified from surface-sterilized seeds. Chaetomium globosporum was most predominant (23%), follow...
متن کاملRisk Assessment of Mycotoxins in Stored Maize Grains Consumed by Infants and Young Children in Nigeria
Maize is a major complimentary food for infants (0-4years) and young children (5-12years) in Nigeria. In this study, we assessed the risk of exposure of infants and young children (IYC) to some major mycotoxins in stored maize grains from five agro-ecological zones of Nigeria. The probable daily intake approach was employed to determine exposure to five mycotoxins while the margin of exposure (...
متن کاملStored Grain - Mycotoxins
Mycotoxins are toxic fungal metabolites that cause intoxication when consumed by animals, including humans. Fungi that produce mycotoxins are called toxigenic fungi. The toxigenic fungi do not produce mycotoxins after they have been ingested by animals and humans. Toxigenic fungi grow in corn, cereals, soybeans, sorghum, peanuts, silage and other food, feed crops or hay in the field, and in gra...
متن کاملOccurrence and toxigenicity of Fusarium moniliforme from freshly harvested maize ears with special references to fumonisin production in Egypt.
Using the seed-plate technique, 18 different isolates of Fusarium moniliforme were isolated on pentachloronitrobenzene (PCNB) agar medium from 18 samples of a local variety of corn collected from locations in Minia Governorate. The isolates of F. moniliforme were screened for their ability to produce fumonisins on polished rice grains using the solid state fermentation technique. Based on thin ...
متن کاملHoney bees preferentially consume freshly-stored pollen
Honey bees (Apis mellifera) collect and store both honey and pollen in preserved forms. Pollen storage involves the addition of honey or nectar and oral secretions to pollen granules. It is controversial whether the duration of pollen storage alters the palatability or nutritive value of the pollen storage medium. We examined how bees utilize different-aged stored pollen during an extended poll...
