The functional ingredients were added into mycotoxin contaminated bread formulation, which were digested in vitro in order to simulate human intestinal absorption. Cell cultures were exposed during 7 days to these mycotoxins dissolved in: (a) 0.1% organic solvent (DMSO), (b) an intestinal digest of bread with pumpkin individually (PID) and (c) an intestinal digest of bread with pumpkin mixed with fermented whey (PID+WF). Extracted proteins were subjected to reduction and alkylation and subsequently a tryptic digestion in order to be analysed by liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time of flight (LC/MS-Q-TOF). Results obtained highlighted the beneficial role of functional ingredients employed through the identification of proteins involved in several biological processes and metabolic pathways, mainly antioxidant activity, nucleosome assembly and secretory senescence phenotype. Among proteins involved in antioxidant activity, peroxiredoxin 1 and 2 stand out. Comparing the different conditions investigated, a remarkable change was observed in their expression, ranging from a repression using the standard (DMSO 0.1%), to an overexpression when treated with the functional ingredients. Similarly, after PID and PID+WF treatment, histones’ expression implicated in the metabolic pathway of nucleosome assembly, such as H2A, H2B, H2C, H3 and H4, was increased. Furthermore, the expression of protein cyclin A2, which downregulation is involved in limiting carcinogenic cells growth, was lower in presence of both functional ingredients. Based on these findings, functional ingredients can act as protectors against genomic stress caused by mycotoxins, preventing the loss of vital cell functions and paralysing the growth of carcinogenic cells.","PeriodicalId":23844,"journal":{"name":"World Mycotoxin Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48260209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Each product contains four atoxigenic A. flavus genotypes native and widely distributed in Tanzania. Efficacy tests on maize and groundnut were conducted over two years and in four regions of Tanzania where aflatoxin contamination is prevalent. Application of both products significantly (P<0.05) reduced aflatoxin levels in maize and groundnut in both years and in all districts. No differences were observed in total Aspergillus section Flavi population in treated and untreated fields, revealing that application of the biocontrol products do not alter overall Aspergillus populations in the environment. The results indicate that both products are effective tools for aflatoxin mitigation in groundnut and maize. The products were officially registered in 2018. Currently, there are scale-out and-up efforts of aflatoxin biocontrol products in Tanzania through a private sector company that is making the products available to farmers.

We explored the use of spectral methods to differentiate maize genotypes and assess aflatoxin (AF) contamination in maize kernels. We compared the performance of two instruments: a research-grade ultraviolet-visible-near infrared (UV-Vis-NIR) spectrometer that measures reflectance from 304 -1,085 nm, and a miniaturised NIR spectrometer that measures reflectance from 740-1,070 nm. Both systems were used to predict AF levels in maize kernels from a single genotype and across 10 genotypes, and to predict genotype for the latter. A partial least square discriminant analysis model was trained on 70% of the kernels and tested on the remaining 30%. The classification accuracy for 10 maize genotypes was 71-72% using the UV-Vis-NIR instrument on 1,170 kernels, and 65-66% using the NIR device on 740 kernels. The classification accuracy for 247 AF-contaminated kernels of a single genotype using the UV-Vis-NIR instrument was 71, 82, and 92% for AF thresholds of 20, 100, and 1000 μg/kg, respectively. Using the same spectrometer on 872 kernels from 10 genotypes, AF classification accuracy was 67, 90, and 95% in validation sets for AF thresholds of 20, 100, and 1000 μg/kg, respectively. The UV-Vis-NIR instrument and the NIR device had similar classification accuracies for AF thresholds of 100 and 1000 μg/kg, whereas the NIR device had higher accuracy for the AF threshold of 20 μg/kg. Reflectance spectroscopy outperformed visual sorting and the bright greenish yellow fluorescence test in identifying AF levels. Applying spectral analysis to estimate mycotoxin levels and to identify maize genotypes could contribute to regional toxin surveillance and action efforts. Further, using AF-associated spectral features for grain sorting can reduce AF exposure.","PeriodicalId":23844,"journal":{"name":"World Mycotoxin Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43924094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A diversity of adverse effects in human health such as organ damage, immunity disorders and carcinogenesis are attributed to acute and chronic exposure to mycotoxins. While there is a high likelihood of mycotoxin co-occurrence in the daily diet, multiple mycotoxin exposures represent a considerable challenge in understanding the accumulative effects of groups of exposures on health outcomes. Nevertheless, previous studies on mycotoxin exposure-health outcome associations have focused on a single or a limited number of exposures. To guide multi-exposure assessment, careful considerations of statistical approaches available are required. In addition, the issue of multicollinearity in high-dimensional settings of multiple exposure analysis underlies the controversy surrounding the reliability and consistency of statistical conclusions about the exposure-health outcome associations. Conventional approaches such as generalised linear regressions (GLR) in conjunction with regularisation methods, including ridge regression, lasso and elastic net, offer some clear advantages in terms of results’ interpretation and model selection. However, when highly-correlated variables are observed, these methods have shown a low specificity in variable selection. Principal component analysis (PCA) that has been widely used as a dimensionality reduction technique also has the limitation to identify important predictor variables as this approach may overlook the associations between certain components and health outcomes. Recently, some alternative approaches have been introduced to address the issues of high dimensionality and highly-correlated data in the context of epidemiological and environmental research. Two of the noticeable approaches are weighted quantile sum regression (WQSR) and Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR). Combining different methods of inference allows us to interpret the role of certain exposures, their interactions and the combined effects on human health under diverse statistical perspectives, which ultimately facilitate the construction of the toxicological profile of multiple mycotoxins’ exposure.","PeriodicalId":23844,"journal":{"name":"World Mycotoxin Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42498843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Limited post-harvest sorting technologies are available to remove infected kernels thereby allowing safe use in livestock. A technology was developed which uses near-infrared spectrometry combined with a seed singulation sorter by BoMill AB (Sweden) which is purported by the manufacturer to remove Fusarium infected grain. The objective of this study was to determine if Fusarium infected grain could be removed using the BoMill equipped with the Fusarium calibration resulting in grain with less than 5,000 μg/kg DON, and therefore legal to feed to poultry and beef in Canada. The secondary objective was to determine the optimal HVK settings within the two calibrations to determine if sorting based on Fusarium damage is more effective than sorting based on protein content. The settings tested were HVK, HHVK, and HHHVK. The HVK settings are reported by the manufacturer to be related to the relative opacity from the starch granules. Using the HHVK setting in the Fusarium calibration resulted in highest recovery (50.3% vs HVK 40.8% and HHHVK 45.1%) and intermediate levels of DON (1,800 μg/kg vs HVK 1,600 μg/kg and HHHVK 2,400 μg/kg), and intermediate rejection rates (29.0% vs HVK 38.7% and HHHVK 22.7%). When using the protein calibration with HHVK setting, the recoveries were similar to the Fusarium calibration (51%), the rejection rates were lower (17.5%), but DON concentration was higher (2,900 μg/kg). Sorting of pooled samples was effective, however additional sieving was required to separate grain of like sizes for optimal function. BoMill sorting using the Fusarium calibration and HHVK setting will effectively sort high DON wheat.

It provides several advantages to farmers over traditional feed components, such as increased digestibility, higher nutrient content and preservation of the forages to meet seasonal feeding demands. Some ensiled materials can contain toxic fungal metabolites resulting from ‘in field’ contamination. In addition, when improperly stored or exposed to air during the feedout stage, silage is highly susceptible to aerobic spoilage by yeasts and filamentous fungi resulting in lower nutrient value and further mycotoxin contamination. In this study, silage samples were collected from 25 Canadian dairy goat and cattle farms where animals experienced feed-related health issues. Twenty-six unique fungal species were isolated from these samples, with the majority being Penicillium. High resolution liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (HRLC-MS/MS) was used to identify a total of 125 known mycotoxins and fungal secondary metabolites from these silage samples, many of which were not produced by the 26 isolated filamentous fungi grown in agar cultures. Various mycotoxins resulting from preharvest contamination were detected, including ergot alkaloids, fumonisins and trichothecenes, some in high concentrations. Toxins produced after harvest included roquefortine C, citrinin and penitrem A. This study reinforces the need for farmers to implement best management practices to minimise fungal contamination and the resulting mycotoxin deposition in their crop and stored feed to maintain animal health.","PeriodicalId":23844,"journal":{"name":"World Mycotoxin Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44150156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In sub-Sahara Africa, contamination and persistence of these fungi is increased by the tropical climatic conditions which are ideal for the fungi to thrive. This study evaluated the incidence, regional distribution and toxigenic potential of Aspergillus and Fusarium species occurring in maize kernels from Eastern, Western, Coastal and the Lake Victoria agro-ecological zones of Kenya. Maize kernels were collected from 16 households in each agro-ecological zone. Single spore technique was used to isolate pure cultures of Aspergillus and Fusarium which were identified morphologically. Further, molecular analysis was done using the internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS 1) region of the ribosomal DNA for Aspergillus and the translation elongation factor-1 alpha (TEF-1α) for Fusarium. The potential of the isolated fungi to produce mycotoxins was probed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based on the aflatoxin regulatory aflaR gene in Aspergillus, and the fumonisin backbone structure gene FUM1 in Fusarium. Among the potentially aflatoxigenic A. flavus species isolated, 55% were from Eastern, 27% from the Coastal zone, 13% from Lake Victoria zone and 5% from Western Kenya.
