Produktbeschreibung

Mycotoxins, common food contaminants produced by molds, are associated with a broad range of serious toxic effects, including carcinogenicity, neurotoxicity, and reproductive and developmental toxicity, are subject to regulatory restrictions in more than 80 countries. In Mycotoxin Protocols, a panel of accomplished scientists describe their innovative, cutting-edge methods for determining the levels of various mycotoxins in foods and feeds. Almost half of the methods presented involve molecular-based immunochemical or immunochemical/chromatographic techniques. The necessary equipment, reagents, and procedures are given in great detail for the analysis of a wide variety of significant mycotoxins, including aflatoxins, aflatoxin M1, cyclopiazonic acid, ochratoxin A, trichothcenes, moniliformin, fumonisins, zearalenone, Stachybotrys toxins, citrinin, patulin, ergot alkaloids, and Alternaria toxins. General techniques for mycotoxin analyses, sampling procedures for collecting representative test samples, isolation techniques, and techniques for the detection and identification of toxins and impurities are also included. Up-to-date and highly practical, Mycotoxin Protocols provides a comprehensive collection of the latest bioanalytical techniques for determining mycotoxins in foods and feeds.

Rezensionen

"...many analysts will be attracted by this book in which assays for several mycotoxins are described." - MicroBiology Today

"After reading the complete book, I would like to congratulate the editors as well as all the authors for work well-done. This book is well-written and could be used both as a practical laboratory handbook as well as a reference book for research scientists. The authors have not only described the protocols in detail, but also reviewd different methodologies and provided notes of their own experience in some of the protocols. These notes are extremely useful for the readeres to understand the rationales, difficulties, steps to overcome the problems, alternatives for certain steps, precautions for certain steps as well as approaches to modify some steps/protocols for other related mycotoxins.
