Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mycotoxins are classed as the top food and feed contaminants all over the world. In addition to their negative impact on the worldwide economy, human and animal exposure to mycotoxins, as well as their potential metabolites, leads to deleterious health consequences. Over the last few decades, scientists have achieved significant progress in the mycotoxin research field by introducing new methods for the detection of mycotoxins and major metabolites, metabolic transformation mechanisms, and proposing several feasible mitigation strategies. All these efforts have enhanced the safety of food and feed and allowed us to gain a better understanding of the toxic health effects and how to control these hazardous contaminants. However, there is still a knowledge gap in foodborne mycotoxin production by fungi, the metabolic transformation mechanism of mycotoxins in animals in vivo, and food processing, especially for emerging members and unknown metabolites of mycotoxins.
In this Special Issue, we welcome all submissions related to (1) Production of foodborne mycotoxins; (2) Metabolic transformation mechanism of foodborne mycotoxins, especially if the work implements omics approach to understanding the mechanism; (3) Survey studies for risk assessment of mycotoxins and metabolites in food and feed; (4) All types of laboratory and/or field studies for control of mycotoxins production.
Review articles are also welcome and can also be submitted, provided that they cover the topics of interest.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Metabolites is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Please note that for papers submitted after 30 June 2023, an APC of 2700 CHF will apply. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
