Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mycotoxins, toxic secondary fungal metabolites, are contaminants of global concern. Due to their prevalence and adverse effects in living organisms, mycotoxins are considered a threat to the agricultural industry, the food and feed chain, and the health of humans and animals. As a consequence, effective approaches, strategies and methods dealing with the detection, monitoring and evaluation of the contamination profiles, and exposure and risk assessment of mycotoxins have become a matter of great importance.
This Special Issue aims outline the latest updates on developments and applications in the above-mentioned research domains. It is of great importance to demonstrate the present status of the recently applied and/or innovative approaches, methods and techniques to account for the new trends in food consumption and agricultural practices, embrace of the green chemistry principles, and the alteration in the occurrence and distribution of mycotoxins due to changing environmental conditions.
This Special Issue invites original research and review articles addressing the advances and trends in the detection, contamination, exposure and risk assessment of mycotoxins.
