Mycotoxins; They are toxins formed by fungi (mold) genera such as Aspergillus, Penicillium, Fusarium, Alternaria and Claviceps. These toxins adversely affect human and animal health. The fungi that form mycotoxins can be carried anywhere by wind. It is known that a quarter of the crops on earth have a risk of contamination with mycotoxins.
Today, more than 400 mycotoxins are known to exist. After mycotoxins are produced by fungi, they have the resistance to survive even if the fungi are damaged due to external factors.
Zearalenon also; It is a mycotoxin synthesized by fungi of the fusarium genus, which can be found widely in cereals such as corn, barley and wheat.
The permissible limits for zearalenone are specified in the Turkish Food Codex Contaminants Regulation published by the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock.
Ingestion of Zearalenone mycotoxin through food does not cause a known health problem. However, consumption over the limits can adversely affect human health.
In our laboratories with international accreditation, Zearalenone Determination is analyzed in cereal and cereal products, infant and child supplements.
