Goals

Prevent the mycotoxin accumulation in foods and feeds through the food chain
Reduce the public’s exposure to mycotoxins

Research Lines

Mould ecophysiology- Predictive Mycology for food/feed safety
Fate of mycotoxins during food processing
Mycotoxin Exposure Assessment –biomonitoring
Molecular tools applied to mycotoxigenic fungal species

Main activities

Isolation and characterization of moulds from foods and feeds
Determination of mycotoxins and metabolites
Analysis of gene expression and phylogenetic studies
Studies to assess the effect of food processing on mycotoxins
Exposure assessment studies
In vitro bioaccessibility studies

International Impact

World leading position in mycotoxin prevention strategies in foods and feeds based on manipulation of environmental storage/field conditions for the most relevant mycotoxin-producing fungi, Europe leading position in predictive mycology applied to mycotoxins.
