This chapter concerns the occurrence, sampling and analysis and regulation of mycotoxins in the agri-food chain. The chapter considers regulatory methods in the EU, and modern methods for determining the incidence and nature of mycotoxins. Attention is shifted to taking samples for analysis at the immediate post-harvesting stage, and developing more rapid and economical methods of testing in order to improve food safety cost effectively. Factors such as masked mycotoxins that endanger food safety all the way up the chain are also considered, along with ways to improve the accuracy of sampling, and monitoring systems to avoid contamination of baked foods. |
