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.
