Mycotoxins, toxic secondary metabolites produced by certain fungi, pose significant threats to global food safety and public health. These compounds can contaminate a variety of crops, leading to economic losses and health risks to both humans and an...
Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a plant disease caused by various species of the fungus. One of the major concerns associated with spp. is their ability to produce mycotoxins. Mycotoxin contamination in small grain cereals is a risk to human and anim...
Rapid urbanization and growing food demand caused people to be concerned about food safety. Biosensors have gained considerable attention for assessing food safety due to selectivity, and sensitivity but poor stability inherently limits their applica...
Cereals, grains, and feedstuffs are prone to contamination by fungi during various stages from growth to storage. These fungi may produce harmful mycotoxins impacting food quality and safety. Thus, the development of quick and reliable methods for on...
Natural toxins, mainly small molecules, are a category of chemical hazards in agri-food systems that pose threats to both public health and food security. Current standard methods for monitoring these toxins, predominantly based on liquid chromatogra...
The contamination of mycotoxins is a serious problem around the world. It has detrimental effects on human beings and leads to tremendous economic loss. It is essential to develop a rapid and non-destructive method for contamination recognition parti...

A large number of mycotoxins and related fungal metabolites have not been assessed in terms of their toxicological impacts. Current methodologies often prioritize specific target families, neglecting the complexity and presence of co-occurring compou...
Detecting and quantifying mycotoxins using LFIA are challenging due to the need for high sensitivity and accuracy. To address this, a dual-mode colorimetric-SERS LFIA was developed for detecting deoxynivalenol (DON). Rhodium nanocores provided strong...
Mycotoxins, particularly deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZEN), are common food contaminants that frequently co-occur in grains, posing significant health risks. This study proposed a multiplexed detection platform for simultaneous quantificatio...
The accurate determination of mycotoxins in food samples is crucial to guarantee food safety and minimize their toxic effects on human and animal health. This study proposed the use of a support vector regression (SVR) predictive model improved by tw...
