Product Description: Mycotoxins are made by different biosynthetic pathways, and they have an extremely wide range of pharmacological effects. This book will update readers on several cutting-edge aspects of mycotoxin research, including topics such as: new analytical methods for detection; the adoption of an ancient Mexican process for detoxification of aflatoxins; mycotoxin management in Ireland, Lithuania and South America; mycotoxin reduction through plant breeding and integrated management practices; and natural aflatoxin inhibitors from medicinal plants...read more

Product Description: This comprehensive book summarizes the general knowledge about toxigenic fungi and describes key molecular techniques that have been applied to foodborne fungal pathogens. The book deals specifically with foodborne mycotoxigenic fungi, from the standpoint of mycoses...read more

Product Description: During the past few decades we have witnessed an era of remarkable growth in the field of molecular biology. In 1950 very little was known ofthe chemical constitution of biological systems, the manner in which information was transmitted from one organism to another, or the extent to which the chemical basis of life is unified...read more

Product Description: In this book, the authors present topical research in the study of the properties, applications and hazards of mycotoxins including: the impact of deoxynivalenol on human cells; electroanalytical properties of mycotoxins and their determinations in the agroalimentary system; the chemistry and biology of myctotoxins from rice false smut pathogen and the quecher method for the extraction of trichothecenes in coffee and spices...read more

Product Description: Mycotoxins are substances produced from fungal secondary metabolic processes. They impair animal health, thereby causing great economic losses of livestock through disease. Livestock come into contact with mycotoxins through contaminated feedstuff...read more

Product Description: A far-reaching work detailing the nature, origin, activity, and control of poisonous metabolites of moulds, called mycotoxins. Though it treats the basic science of mycotoxicology, the book emphasizes the multidisciplinary nature of research into diseases caused by mycotoxins and provides a thorough review of the most modern applications of analysis, control, and diagnosis...read more
