Article Abstract

Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites mainly produced by filamentous fungal species that commonly contaminate food and feed. Aflatoxin B (AFB) is extremely toxic and seriously threatens the health of humans and animals. In this work, the HNGD-A6 was obtained and showed a 94.66% removal ability of AFB by employing extracellular enzymes as the degrading active substance. The degradation products were P1 (AFD, CHO) and P2 (CHNO), and their toxicity was greatly reduced compared to that of AFB. The AttM gene was mined by BlastP comparison and successfully expressed in BL21. AttM could degrade 86.78% of AFB at pH 8.5 and 80 °C, as well as 81.32% of ochratoxin A and 67.82% of zearalenone. The ability of AttM to degrade a wide range of toxins and its resistance to high temperatures offer the possibility of its use in food or feed applications.

Tattoos and permanent make-up (PMU) gain increasing popularity among the general population. There are indications that pigments or their fragments may translocate within the body, however knowledge about possible systemic adverse effects related to tattoos is very limited. We investigated the prevalence of systemic chronic health effects including cardiovascular diseases, cancer and liver toxicity and their relationship with the presence and characteristics of tattoos and PMU as part of the LIFE-Adult-study, a population-based cohort study.

This study evaluated how dietary black seed oil (Nigella sativa L.) against the diazinon waterborne toxicity on Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), focusing on growth performance, hematological and biochemical parameters as well as oxidative stress markers and histological changes. A 40-day feeding trial was carried out using four experimental groups: Group 1 (control group), Group 2 (N.

Foodborne illness is a critical food safety and public health concern, often resulting from contamination events by resident pathogens in food processing environments (FPEs). , the causative agent of listeriosis, can persist in FPEs over long time periods. Despite rigorous research on the phenotypic and genotypic traits of , no clear pattern has arisen to explain why some strains are able to persist.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in biosolid-amended soils can transfer and accumulate in crops, cattle, and people. Bioaccumulation factors (BAFs) are often applied to estimate the transfer of contaminants from soil to crops. However, they can vary widely and introduce uncertainty to exposure and risk estimates.
