These products promise a reduced environmental footprint and address animal welfare concerns while offering nutritional benefits. 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. With alternariol methyl ether (AME) in nearly 95% of soy-based burgers, with concentrations up to 408.8 μg/kg, while mycotoxins like beauvericin (BEA) (99%) and enniatin B (ENNB) (94%) were also prevalent. 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. Advanced analytical methodologies are crucial to minimize mycotoxin exposure. Future research should focus on expanding the mycotoxin database in PBMAs to ensure the safety of these increasingly popular products and protect consumers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12409,"journal":{"name":"Food Bioscience","volume":"62 ","pages":"Article 105230"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142445337","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}

Increased consumer health awareness regarding the therapeutic potential of diet modification in OA management has led to the requirement to assess the effect of food processing approaches on nutritional quality. This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the existing evidence of the effect of different food technologies on OA-related modifiable factors like bioavailability, nutritional and bioactive content, weight management, and inflammation. Scientific evidence supports the effectiveness of nonthermal food technologies over conventional food technologies, specifically ultrasound processing, irradiation, high-pressure, carbon dioxide, electric field, microwave processing, high hydrostatic pressure, and cold plasma; and other food technologies, including food fortification, biofortification, decaffeination processing, nanotechnology, fat replacers, and food excipients, have a tremendous potential to significantly improve diet-based OA management after overcoming their limitations and health-related safety concerns. Specifically, nanotechnology and food excipients are two rapidly emerging technologies that can improve OA management by improving bioavailability and providing sustained nutrient delivery.
