5. What are Mycotoxins?
Mycus = Fungus / Mold
Toxicum = Poision
Mycotoxins are toxic substances / secondary
metabolites produced by fungi (molds)
growing on crops in the field and in storage.
(Phreusa, 2009)

6. Mycotoxicosis is used to describe the action
.
characterized as:
Acute mycotoxicosis- high dose and rapid
Chronic mycotoxicosis- slow development of infection
(Harvey et al., 1991)
Toxicoses – injection of toxic secondary metabolites
(Osborne et al., 1982)
Mycosis - generalized invasion of living tissue
(McKinney et al., 1973)
Mycetism - poisoning of organisms
(Phillips et al., 2007)

7. History
Turkey X Disease
Death of about 100,000 turkey poultry birds ---- United Kingdom in
1960 ----ingestion of a poultry feed containing Brazilian groundnut
cake---- AFLATOXIN
Chemical and microbiological investigations ---- toxic effects
produced by the Brazilian groundnut cake ---- presence of quantities of
four secondary metabolites ---- Aspergillus flavus in the diet
(Agrios, 2000)

• 1972 in China – 800 persons affected due to consumption of
moldy sugar cane
• Gibberella ear rot – contaminated beer– vomitoxin and
zearalenone – cattle's, swine, chickens, horses, dog , fishes and
humans in Canada

10. Why are they important?
• Destroy crops and causes economic loss
• Ingested through contaminated food
• Cancer, birth defects, liver damage, and nervous
tissue damage, etc.
• Not destroyed in normal cooking procedures.
• Played an important role in some historical events
• Annual losses - $5 billion
(Paterson et al., 2011)

11. Where do they come from ?
Moisture in crops
Contamination during
Handling
Storage
Processing of foods
Fungi present in air, water, food and dust
(Lima et al., 2009)
12/10/2013

12. Mycotoxin and climate change
Extreme precipitation, storms and
floods
Cause moist conditions
Drought
Weakens seed kernels of
plants, allowing greater fungal
contamination
Increased temperatures
Promote fungal growth
(WHO, 2009)

of parasiticus visualized (a) under visible light; (b) 365 nm UV light. The ring around
the aflatoxigenic strain displays blue fluorescence; (c) room temperature
phosphorescence was photographed with a digital camera with a 2.5mp exposure after
switching-off the UV lamp.
(Rojas et al., 2007)
21. Producing:
Aspergillus flavus and A parasiticus
Important metabolite is Aflatoxin B1, B2, G1, G2, M1
Warm temperature conditions favours the development
Potential sources tomato, chilli, cocoa, coffee, groundnut, soybean, corn, milk
and milk products, meat etc....
Effects:
Inhibit protein synthesis
Tumour cell development
cancer
cause mutation
cell toxicity
liver damage
(Williams et al., 2004)
22. Conditions favorable for Aspergillus
— High moisture
— Drought stress
— Insect damage

24. Chemical structure of aflatoxins

A
(A) The B-type aflatoxins are characterized
by a cyclopentane E-ring. These
compounds have a blue fluorescence
under long-wavelength ultraviolet
light.
R3
R1
R4
(B) The G-type aflatoxins, with a green
fluorescence, have a xanthone ring in
place of the cyclopentane.
(C) Aflatoxins of the B2 and G2 type have
a saturated bis-furanyl ring. Only the
bis-furan is shown.

(D) Aflatoxin of the B1a and G1a type

(Abid et al., 2003)

25. AF binds to DNA
Aflatoxin B1 binds to
DNA at the guanine
base in liver cells,
corrupting the genetic
code that regulates cell
growth. Out- of- control
cells grow into tumors
that eventually become
cancerous.

60. Ecological aspects of distribution of potential
toxin-producing micromycetes on stored apple fruit
(Alma and Elena, 2006, Lithuania)
•
Objective :- To investigate the ecological aspects of contamination of stored apples
and to elucidate the potential toxin producing micromycetes
•
Materials and methods
•
There were inspected 300 fruits (100 from each of three replicate trees) of the same
maturity, size and free of physical damage and fungal infection in each control plot.
The yield was kept in a storehouse with controlled storage conditions: the
temperature was adjusted to 0–2 C and relative air humidity to 90%
The orchard management activities and fungicide spray program were carried out
according to recommendations accepted at the Lithuanian Institute of Horticulture
Microbial contamination was tested immediately after apple harvesting and after
three months of storage in a storehouse
To isolate micromycetes, 1 cm2 pieces of apples were plated onto Malt, Czapek Dox
and Potatoes Dextrose agars. Plates were incubated at 26 2 C for seven days in
the dark.
Grown fungi were isolated .
The identification was performed according to particular manuals .
The distribution frequency (%) was calculated

International Agency For Research On Cancer
(IARC);
• Legislation limits amount of this metabolite
in milk:
EU: 50 ppt = 0.05 μg/kg
USA: 500ppt = 0.5 μg/kg
Economic concern
• Milk is discarded or downgraded.

84. Spina bifida (a common form of NTD)
Spina bifida (Latin: "split spine") is a developmental birth defect caused by the
incomplete closure of the embryonic neural tube. Some vertebrae overlying the spinal cord
are not fully formed and remain unfused and open.
If the opening is large enough, this allows a portion of the spinal cord to protrude
through the opening in the bones. There may or may not be a fluid-filled sac surrounding the
spinal cord.

other parts of the brain remain
unfused.
Anencephaly : a condition in which the
portion of the neural tube which will become

87. Removal or Elimination of
Mycotoxins
• Pre harvest control
• Resistant varieties
• Crop rotation
Inactivation of Mycotoxins
• Adequate irrigation
Removal of Mycotoxins During
• Control of insect pests.
Food Processing.
• Postharvest Control
• 10–13% moisture
Avoiding Human Exposure
• Avoid insect and rodent infestation
• Methods of harvesting and storage
Detection and Screening of
Mycotoxins
Dietary Modifications

88. Conclusion............!!!!!
• Mycotoxins are highly stable compounds and ubiquitous
• Causes severe crop loss because contamination can occur both
before and after harvest
• Severe health hazards to Animals and humans
•
Good farm management practices and storage
• Regulatory commissions should develop
• The development of sophisticated kits for the detection of
minute amounts of mycotoxins is the most important
• Create awareness and education
