Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, titled "From Inhibiting Fungal Growth to Reducing Mycotoxin Content in Food and Feed: Challenges, Achievements, and Advanced Approaches", presents a comprehensive analysis of the ongoing efforts to address fungal contamination in agriculture, food safety, and environmental health. Fungi, through the production of mycotoxins, pose significant risks to human and animal health, creating a pressing need for effective strategies to control their growth and minimize toxin contamination. This Special Issue examines the complex challenges researchers and industry professionals face in managing fungal growth and mycotoxin content in various sectors. We will highlight key breakthroughs in antifungal agents, biotechnological crop protection strategies, and innovative food processing technologies designed to reduce mycotoxin levels. In exploring advanced approaches, this collection will delve into cutting-edge research, technological innovations, and interdisciplinary collaborations shaping the future of fungal inhibition and mycotoxin reduction. These advancements are not only enhancing current practices but also opening up new possibilities for more effective and sustainable solutions in combating fungal contamination.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Foods.
