Mycotoxins: Novel integrated strategies for worldwide reduction in the food and feed chains

Mycotoxins are fungal secondary metabolites capable of entering the food chain and contaminating foods before and after harvest. Accumulating evidence indicates that certain mycotoxins are potential carcinogens or neurotoxins, posing a serious health threat to humans and animals.

The aim of the EU-funded Mycored project is to develop novel detection methodologies, handling procedures and practically-useful tools to reduce toxin contamination.
