Supercritical Fluid Extraction of Mycotoxins from Feeds
Abstract
Trichothecenes are sesquiterpenoid mycotoxins produced by a variety of species of imperfect fungi. These mycotoxins are found mainly as products of field flora in grains and cereals. Trichothecenes show a wide range of toxicity, which is dependent on the structure of the molecule. Over 150 trichothecenes have been isolated and characterized, but it is still a challenging analytical task to isolate and characterize these compounds from foods and feeds (1,2).
