Roughly two dozen structurally different but related substances (congeners) have been described in plants to various degrees of depth. At sufficiently high concentrations furocoumarins pose a risk to consumers' health because of their phototoxic and photogenotoxic effects.

However, due to photogenotoxic properties of certain furocoumarins, their exposure should be reduced as much as possible and some foods should be consumed in moderation.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":93795,"journal":{"name":"JSFA reports","volume":"5 2","pages":"50-61"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jsf2.227","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143363078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
