Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The enhancement of food safety and biosecurity by developing new methods for the analysis of filamentous fungi colonizing foods and new strategies to reduce or eliminate toxin contamination—either plant or animal origin commodities—is of great importance. This ensures the protection of consumers´ health and the avoidance of economic losses to farmers, manufacturers, and retailers. This Special Issue is a continuation of the Special Issue entitled “Foodborne Toxin Detection and Prevention Research”, but is more focused on the undesirable effects of molds growing on foods, either through spoilage or through toxin production. From a food safety perspective, the long-time and chronic effects of mycotoxins synthesized by filamentous fungi in foods create a necessity for designing new and effective methods for the detection and prevention of mycotoxins.
This Special Issue of Toxins looks forward to receiving contributions, either research papers or reviews, on the novel and original foodborne filamentous fungi and mycotoxin detection methods, and research relied on searching prevention strategies of different types (chemical, physical or biological). Efficient biological prevention strategies are very welcome. Research aimed at understanding the ecological reasons why fungi grow on determined and specific niches is also well-received.
