Citrinin Analysis

Mold development and mycotoxin formation occur as a result of not providing suitable conditions in stages such as production and storage of food and feed. Mycotoxins cause great problems in terms of both human and animal health due to their toxic structures.

Citrine is also produced as a secondary metabolite by Penicillium, Aspergillus and Monascus species. It has high nephrotoxic, hepatotoxic, mutagenic and teratogenic effects in mammals. They mostly occur together with Ochratoxin A in food and feed.

Citrine is a mycotoxin that can cause chronic diseases when consumed with food and feed. Kidney disorders are seen with long-term consumption. It can impair cell membrane permeability, prevent amino acid transport, and cause fatty liver.

Considering the problems that may be caused by citrine mentioned above, the importance of the precautions to be taken is also seen. For this reason, it can be determined whether it can be consumed safely with the Analysis of Citrine in food and feed.

Citrine Analysis is one of the important mycotoxin analyzes performed in foods and feeds.
