Mycotoxins
Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by molds that grow on crops and animal feed under certain environmental conditions. These compounds pose serious health risks to both humans and animals, contributing to a range of acute and chronic illnesses. Due to their widespread impact, the monitoring and regulation of mycotoxins in food and feed are mandated by legislation in many countries.
Mycotoxin contamination can occur at multiple points in the agricultural supply chain, particularly during crop growth, harvest, processing, and storage. Commonly affected commodities include corn, wheat, rice, soybeans, peanuts, oats, rye, figs, spices, and grapes. When ingested, mycotoxins can impair animal productivity and compromise food safety, leading to health concerns, trade restrictions, and economic losses across the agricultural sector.
Modern analytical technologies make it possible to rapidly detect and quantify mycotoxins with high sensitivity and precision. Accurate testing helps ensure regulatory compliance, protect public health, and support the integrity of global trade.
BioStone Scientific offers a broad portfolio of rapid, easy-to-use, and cost-effective test kits for the detection of mycotoxins in food and feed samples.
