Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mycotoxins are food contaminants caused by fungi and can seriously threaten the health of humans and animals. Much research has been done on mycotoxins, but there is still little information on the aspects and effects of multimycotoxins on human health. Research on the origin, causal agents, taxonomy, detection methods, toxicity and decontamination of nutritional ingredients and foods will be of great expectation for this edition. Therefore, the aim of this special issue is to provide a broader perspective on the latest scientific advances in the field of mycotoxins, from the methodological aspects of fundamental research to the applied research. We welcome original research and review articles on all topics mentioned above, but not limited only to these subjects.
Dr. Otniel Freitas
