Fusarium Mycotoxins, published by Food Research Institute (FRI), Department of Food Microbiology and Toxicology, University of Wisconsin, USA. This document is part of the FRI briefings and was first published December 1997. The document covers various aspects of Fusarium mycotoxins like occuring of toxins and concentrations, toxins and diseases, references.
Fusarium Mycotoxins in Cereal Grains (NC-129), located at Department of Botany and Plant Pathology, Purdue University. This is a 5 year North Central research project to study the toxicology of Fusarium mycotoxins, develop and evaluate diagnostic methods, establish contamination management strategies, and elucidate the biosynthetic pathways and factors that regulate mycotoxin production. Available information: Mission, Research Objectives, Newsletter, Committee Members, Jobs, Annual Reports and Links. The newsletter is featuring ione major topic whereas the reports give you detailed information on research and progress.
IUPAC Mycotoxins, International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, Commission on the Chemistry of Food, Edible Oils and Fats, and Derivatives. Available Information: Mycotoxin Newsletter, Mycotoxin Information and Studies (including working groups IUPAC projects, regulations), Upcoming & Prior Mycotoxin Meetings, links to related sites.
Laboratory of Mycotoxins (LABMIC), Deptartment of Agroindustrial Science and Technology, University of Sao Paulo, ESALQ/USP, Piracicaba, Brazil. Research: Prevention, control amd monitoring mycotoxins in foods and feeds, agricultural products, raw materials for feeds, detoxyfication of contaminated foods through selection and segregation. Database for Diagnosis of Mycotoxicoses. Available: general, team, teaching, masters' degree, research and training.
Molds and Mycotoxins, published by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, Ontario, Canada. This is the part 'Dairy Herd - Feeding & Nutrition'. Go to 'Other Publications' to find documents on mycotoxins. Available: Sampling Feeds to Test for Mycotoxins, Alleviating Mold & Mycotoxin Problems, Mycotoxin Levels & Interpretation, Effects of Moldy feed & Mycotoxins on cattle, Feeding Mold and Mycotoxin Contaminated Wheat to Ruminants, and Laboratories Offering Mycotoxin Analysis.
Mycotoxinas - Mycotoxins, personal page H. Fonseca, formerly at College of Agriculture, University of São Paulo, Brazil. Aims: This web page is intended to offer basic and specialized up to date informations on mycotoxins for researchers, students, food industries, brokers, governmental agencies etc. Available: Brazilian and international legislation on mycotoxins, federal inspection agencies in Brazil, colleges that give courses on mycotoxins, books, periodics and scientific articles on the web, libraries, databases, events, laboratories that analyse mycotoxins, suppliers of laboratory equipment, chemicals and Elisa kits, suppliers of raw and processed materials (peanuts and corn) that apply strict control of mycotoxins. In the happy hour section you will find some funny stuff to relax while searching for information. Page is in Portuguese.
Mycotoxin Research Unit, National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research (NCAUR), ARS, USDA. Research areas: biosynthetic pathways of Fusarium mycotoxins, ecological relationships (e.g. fungi, vectors, environmental conditions), mycotoxin analysis, Maize kernels resistant to invasion by Fusarium, chemical studies of mycotoxins- -their production, isolation and identification, role of mycotoxins in plant disease, molecular basis of Fusarium infections & plant resistance and more. Also available: 3d Live mycotoxins.
Mycotoxins and Mycotoxicoses, maintained by Alabama A&M and Auburn Universities, Alabama Cooperative Extension. beside an introduction following topics are available: (1) aflatoxins, (2) zearalenone, zearalenol, esterogenic syndrome, (3) deoxynivalenol, feed refusal in swine, (4) trichothecenes, T-2, HT-2, diacetoxyscirpenol, (5) Nephrotoxins, (6) Diagnosis, Detecion of mycotoxins and more related topics. The document includes two tables, one on major mycotoxins and toxin producing fungi and one on methods of detecting mycotoxins. Selected references complete this well written and very infomative document.
