Multitoxin Analyses
Different mycotoxins can be found simultaneously in food products and pose serious threats to both human and animal health. The main mycotoxins include Aflatoxins, Ochratoxin, Deoxynivalenol, Patulin, Zearalenone, HT-2, T-2, and Citrinin, which are common toxic components.
The presence of mycotoxins is generally due to the growth of molds, which are toxic metabolites that contaminate food products at different levels of the food chain. Molds can proliferate rapidly depending on moisture, temperature, and storage conditions, which can lead to serious health risks in food products. For accurate results in analyses, sampling procedures must ensure that the sample represents the entire batch properly.
Mycotoxin Analyses at Oxigen Laboratories
Oxigen Laboratories has specific analytical procedures for different food matrices and extensive experience in multitoxin analyses. Thanks to this expertise, the detection of toxins simultaneously present in food products and the determination of their concentrations are carried out accurately and reliably.
These analyses, which are critical for food safety and quality, play a crucial role in determining the suitability of food products for safe consumption.
