Mycotoxins, toxic metabolites mainly produced by the fungi Fusarium, Aspergillus, Penicillium, Claviceps, and Alternaria, pose a significant threat to both human health and economic stability. Nowadays, the presence of mycotoxins in feeds, foods, and nutraceuticals remains a significant challenge to food safety. Although extensive global efforts have been undertaken to address this issue, mycotoxin contamination persists as a pressing global concern, demanding innovative approaches for detection, management, and mitigation. To advance our understanding of this crucial field, an in-depth comprehension of the current landscape of mycotoxin-related issues is pivotal for advancing this field.
However, mycotoxin research has witnessed remarkable advancements, particularly in the field of detection and management methodologies. Advanced techniques, such as Mass Spectrometry-based approaches in HRMS (High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry) coupled with either gas chromatography or liquid chromatography represent valuable tools for the detection and analysis of multi-mycotoxins, which can provide information on a wide range of metabolites involved in mycotoxin production.
This Research Topic is dedicated to addressing the critical challenges posed by mycotoxins in feeds, foods, and nutraceuticals. These toxic metabolites continue to threaten food safety, human health, and economic stability on a global scale.
Our central aim is to advance scientific understanding and promote effective mycotoxin management strategies. Recent innovations in mycotoxin detection, management, and mitigation offer promising solutions, and our objective is to highlight these advancements.
Through this Research Topic, we seek to comprehensively tackle mycotoxin challenges by leveraging recent innovations, ultimately contributing to the enhancement of safety and quality in feeds, foods, and nutraceuticals.
This Research Topic encompasses a broad range of subjects related to mycotoxin detection, management, and mitigation across the food supply chain. We invite contributions that delve into the following themes, but are not limited to:
• Development and/or validation of multi-mycotoxin methods based on mass spectrometry.
• Strategies for the prevention and control of mycotoxins.
• Examination of mycotoxin regulations and adherence to food safety standards.
• Assessment of mycotoxin implications for both human and animal health.
• Exploration of emerging trends and innovations in mycotoxin research.
We welcome manuscripts, reviews, and mini-reviews that shed light on these critical topics. Authors are encouraged to submit their valuable insights and research findings to help advance our understanding of mycotoxin-related issues and enhance food safety and quality.
