  4. Development and Validation of a Lateral Flow Immunoassayfor the Rapid Screening of Okadaic Acid and All Dinophysis Toxinsfrom Shellfish Extracts

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • A single-step lateral flow immunoassay was developed and validated to detect okadaic acid (OA) and dinophysis toxins (DTXs), which cause diarrhetic shellfish poisoning. The performance characteristics of the test were investigated, in comparison to reference methods (liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry and/or bioassay), using both spiked and naturally contaminated shellfish.

  5. Multiparametric Quantitation of the Bacillus cereus Toxins Cereulide and IsocereulidesA–G in Foods

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Consumption of food products contaminated with cereulide (1), a toxin produced by Bacillus cereus, might cause intoxications with symptoms reported to range from indigestion pain and emesis to death. Recently, a series of structural variants, coined isocereulides A–G (2–8), were identified for the first time to be produced along with cereulide (1).

  22. Ochratoxin A Dietary Exposure of Ten Population Groups in the Czech Republic: Comparison with Data over the World

    • Toxins

    • Ochratoxin A is a nephrotoxic and renal carcinogenic mycotoxin and is a common contaminant of various food commodities. Eighty six kinds of foodstuffs (1032 food samples) were collected in 2011–2013. High-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection was used for ochratoxin A determination. Limit of quantification of the method varied between 0.01–0.2 μg/kg depending on the food matrices. The most exposed population is children aged 4–6 years old.
