Tóm tắt

AbstractMycotoxin contamination of crops may cause economic losses at all levels of food and feed production including crop and animal production, and crop distribution and processing. The national economy would be affected adversely by losses incurred by crop and livestock producers and the multiplier effect this has on other industries as a result of the reduced spending power of producers. Costs of chemical analyses, quality control and regulatory programs, research and development, extension services, law suits, and the cost of human illnesses must all be bome by the national economy. The value of the losses encountered depends on grain, animal, and animal product prices, interest rates, degree of contamination, and other economic variables. Even during favourable seasons it is likely that millions of dollars are lost as a result of the contamination of crops with mycotoxins.Many compounds and treatments have been tested in order to reduce mycotoxin concentrations in food and feed or to alleviate their adverse effects on animals. Some of these treatments show promising prospects for commercial application, while others have had commercial applications already. However, until reliable, cost‐effective, commercially applicable methods are more widely available, problems associated with mycotoxin contamination and the economic losses resulting, will continue to be seen in food and agriculture industries.
