  1. Mycotoxin monitoring in Shandong province, China reveals health risks for enterohepatic diseases shifted from environment to diet: Deoxynivalenol, zearalenone and nivalenol in noodles (2019–2020)

    • Cereal Chemistry

    • Abstract Background and Objectives High levels of deoxynivalenol (DON) contamination in foods can raise health risks for enterohepatic diseases. Here we report our investigation into the trichothecenes (DON, 3‐acetyl‐deoxynivalenol, 15‐acetyl‐deoxynivalenol), zearalenone (ZEA) and nivalenol (NIV) showing in the wheats‐processed noodles in Shandong, China (2019–2020).

  2. Effect of Bread Processing Conditions on the Zearalenone Content of Contaminated Wheat Flour

    • Cereal Chemistry

    • Cereal Chemistry, Accepted Article. Background and objectives Zearalenon (ZEA) is a non-steroidal estrogenic mycotoxin that causes reproductive and sexual problems. In the present study, the effect of bread-making on the ZEA content of samples was investigated. The wheat flour was contaminated with standard ZEA solution. The dough was proofed at 30, 60, and 90 min and baked at 150, 185, and 220 ˚C.
