Features: This book is divided into four chapters, systematically introducing the production of mycotoxins, the hazards of mycotoxins to crops, animals, and humans, the contamination status of mycotoxins in agricultural products, and the limit standards established by countries worldwide. It also discusses the impact of mycotoxigenic fungi and mycotoxins on agricultural production, as well as methods for prevention, control, and detoxification. The mycotoxins covered include aflatoxin B1, B2, G1, G2, M1, ochratoxin A, fumonisin, zearalenone, vomitoxin, T-2 toxin, and patulin, along with their analytical methods. Considering the current importance of mycotoxin analysis in international trade, this book also includes a case study on China's peanut exports and overcoming EU technical barriers. This book serves as a reference for technical personnel in entry-exit inspection and quarantine, disease prevention and control (food safety and nutrition), agricultural product safety testing, product quality supervision and inspection government laboratories, quality management departments of food enterprises, and third-party laboratories. It is also suitable for students, training institutions, and researchers in schools and research organizations related to food safety testing.
