Moniliformin in cereal grains available in the Japanese market.
Moniliformin (MON), a mycotoxin produced by Fusarium species, has recently raised health concerns. Therefore, MON levels were determined in 399 cereal grain samples obtained from retail stores across Japan between April 2020 and July 2024. The survey showed the presence of MON in 36% of the tested samples. It was mainly found in Job's tears products, corn-based products, Japanese wheat flour and rye. The highest level (3109 µg/kg) was present in a Job's tears product. Co-occurrence of MON with fumonisins was observed in corn-based products and the contamination of both mycotoxins was correlated. The obtained results indicate that Japanese people may be exposed to MON through the consumption of cereal products. Further studies on its occurrence and toxicity are advisable to achieve a more accurate health risk assessment of MON for the Japanese population.
期刊介绍:
Food Additives & Contaminants: Part B publishes surveillance data indicating the presence and levels of occurrence of designated food additives, residues and contaminants in foods, food supplements and animal feed. Data using validated methods must meet stipulated quality standards to be acceptable and must be presented in a prescribed format for subsequent data-handling.
Food Additives & Contaminants: Part B restricts its scope to include certain classes of food additives, residues and contaminants. This is based on a goal of covering those areas where there is a need to record surveillance data for the purposes of exposure and risk assessment.
The scope is initially restricted to:
Additives - food colours, artificial sweeteners, and preservatives;
Residues – veterinary drug and pesticide residues;
Contaminants – metals, mycotoxins, phycotoxins, plant toxins, nitrate/nitrite, PCDDs/PCFDs, PCBs, PAHs, acrylamide, 3-MPCD and contaminants derived from food packaging.
Readership: The readership includes scientists involved in all aspects of food safety and quality and particularly those involved in monitoring human exposure to chemicals from the diet.
Papers reporting surveillance data in areas other than the above should be submitted to Part A . The scope of Part B will be expanded from time-to-time to ensure inclusion of new areas of concern.
