And non-Saccharomyces yeasts, lactic acid bacteria (LAB), and bioprotection strategies in promoting sustainable winemaking. While <em>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</em> has long been central to fermentation, non-Saccharomyces species like <em>Starmerella bacillaris</em>, <em>Torulaspora delbrueckii</em>, and <em>Lachancea thermotolerans</em> are now recognized for enhancing flavor complexity and reducing the need for chemical additives. LAB, particularly <em>Oenococcus oeni</em>, contribute to malolactic fermentation, improving wine stability and sensory qualities, while aiding in sustainable waste management by converting by-products into valuable materials such as biogas. Bioprotection methods using yeasts like <em>Metschnikowia pulcherrima</em> offer a natural alternative to chemical preservatives, reducing sulfite use and chemical inputs. These microbial strategies align with sustainability goals by minimizing synthetic additives, promoting natural fermentation, and enhancing energy efficiency. Sustainable vineyard practices, such as promoting microbial diversity, cover cropping, and organic pest management, help maintain soil health, reduce chemical fertilizers, and improve vine resilience. The integration of these practices supports both environmental and economic sustainability, reducing production costs and enhancing product quality. Additionally, advances in omics approaches enable the development of tailored microbial consortia suited to specific environmental conditions, further improving the resilience and efficiency of winemaking, especially under climate variability. This comprehensive approach meets consumer demand for natural wines while reducing the wine industry's environmental footprint and improving economic viability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12409,"journal":{"name":"Food Bioscience","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142427973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, potential mycotoxin exposure through PBMAs remains under-explored. Mycotoxins can contaminate food during pre-harvest, harvest, and storage phases. Common mycotoxins include aflatoxins, ochratoxins, trichothecenes, zearalenone, and fumonisins, posing significant health risks.This review evaluates the occurrence of mycotoxins in PBMAs and their primary ingredients and discusses the analytical techniques used for detection and various detoxification methods. The EU's Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/915 sets maximum levels (MLs) for mycotoxins in food products, but these may not fully cover PBMAs. Wheat-based PBMAs have shown significant mycotoxin contamination, according to previous publications.

Enniatins (ENN)s were detected in soy-based burgers at concentrations up to 632.6 μg/kg. The prevalence of mycotoxin occurrence emphasizes the necessity of implementing a combination of mitigation strategies such as extrusion, fermentation, and high-pressure processing (HPP), to ensure PBMAs safety.
