Encyclopedia of Food Mycotoxins [Paperback]

All relevant toxin producing fungi, their natural occurence, the possible mycotoxicosis, further the biochemical and physiological effects of mycotoxins, their chemical data and toxicity are treated here comprehensively. For each fungi, reference is given to the food at risk. All foods which have been reported to be contaminated with mycotoxins are listed, including data on the degree of contamination, the concentration of the toxins and the country of origin and/or detection of the contaminated food.A.- B.- C.- D.- E.- F.- G.- H.- I.- J.- K.- L.- M.- N.- O.- P.- R.- S.- T.- U.- V.- W.- X.- Y.- Z.

From the reviews:

The Encyclopedia of Food Mycotoxins provides an excellent reference text for all those working in the field of mycotoxins & . It is a text that will be welcomed by both researchers and those involved in food production alike. The layout of the text is simple to follow and information can be easily sourced. & Overall, this is a valuable text that provides a wealth of vital information for all those concerned about the occurrence and effects of mycotoxins. (Sheila M. Maxwell, Nutrition Bulletin, Vol. Issue 26, 2001)

The main emphasis of the present book is an alphabetical list and overview of all foods which have been reported to be contaminated with mycotoxins. Data on the degree of contamination, the concentration of the toxins, the country of origin and/or detection of the contaminated food are included. & This book is a valuable supplement in the library of specialists in this scientific field, especially microbiologists, food technologists and chemists.
