Nuts are considered healthy foods due to their high content of nutritional compounds with functional properties. However, the list most allergenic includes tree nuts, and presence must be indicated on food labels. Most nut allergens seed storage proteins, pathogenesis-related (PR) profilins lipid transfer proteins (LTP). Nut characterized by resistance denaturation proteolysis. Food processing ...

Abstract Liquid chromatography‐tandem mass spectrometry (LC‐MS/MS) was used for the rapid quantification of multiple mycotoxins, specifically aflatoxins B 1 , 2 G and (AFB AFB AFG ), ochratoxin A (OTA), deoxynivalenol (DON), zearalenone (ZEN), in walnuts, pistachios, peanuts, coffee beans, rice, chickpeas from various countries. Total counts fungi, Aspergillus flavus, parasiticus were also asse...

Background: The agricultural sector is one of the most important sectors in production. The safety and health of farmers are important factors that can cause a significant increase in efficiency and productivity. The aim of this study was the assessment of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) using the OVAKO Working Posture Analysis System (OWAS) and evaluation of the effect of ergonomic training o...

Aflatoxins are natural fungi toxins that have originated from Aspergillous fungi and secondary metabolites of moulds such as Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus. These toxins can be carcinogenic if they enter the body through food. Alfatoxin toxins can cause tissue necrosis, hepatic cirrhosis and liver cancer. Observed clinical signs in human including: regurgitation, cramp, acute hepatic les...

This application note describes the development of a multitarget method for the determination of 191 mycotoxins and other fungal metabolites as well as its validation in almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts, and pistachios. In addition to all mycotoxins regulated in the European Union, the method includes many mycotoxins that are frequently found in food. The method comprises a simple extraction with an...
