Springer - Fumonisins in Food: 392 (Advances in Experimental Medicine)

Fumonisins in Food: 392 provides a comprehensive collection of research findings from the ACS symposium held in Anaheim, CA. This volume captures the essential proceedings of an international meeting that brought together experts from academia, government, and industry to address the growing concerns regarding mycotoxin research. Since the isolation and structural determination of fumonisins by the South African Medical Research Council in 1988, these compounds have become a primary focus in the scientific community. This book documents the discussions of thirty-three speakers who addressed a wide spectrum of critical topics. Readers can explore detailed information regarding the analysis of fumonisins, their toxicological profiles, and the various regulatory aspects that impact food safety. As part of the Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology series, this text serves as a valuable resource for professionals and researchers studying mycotoxins and public health. It offers a deep look into the scientific developments and collaborative efforts required to understand and manage these substances in the food supply.
