About Mycotoxins and MycotoxinDB

Mycotoxins are fungal metabolites produced by specific fungal genera, primarily Aspergillus, Penicillium, Alternaria, and Fusarium. These compounds are typically stable, with a low molecular mass. To date, over 3,000 mycotoxins and their masked forms have been identified, capable of contaminating a wide variety of foods and feeds. However, only around 30 mycotoxins have been extensively studied for their toxic properties, leaving significant gaps in our understanding of both mycotoxins and their masked derivatives...
