Penicillium expansum has emerged as the cause of storage decay of table grapes (Vitis vinifera) and has been frequently isolated from apparently healthy clusters of grapes in Chile. The objectives of this study were to ...

The objectives were to investigate the presence of patulin-producing Penicillium sp. in corn silage and high moisture corn as well as adverse effects of patulin on microbial fermentation in continuous culture fermenters. ...

Eight single-flow continuous culture fermenters were used to study the effects of different concentrations of patulin on rumen microbial fermentation. Two 1 l fermenters were spiked with 0, 30, 60 or 90 mg of patulin every ...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the adverse effects of patulin on beef and dairy sheep. In the beef sheep trial, nine Corriedale lambs averaging 26± 3 kg-1 BW were used. The treatment group, n=5, received 3.3 ...

Numerous studies around the world have reported the occurrence of patulin in commercialized apple products. The persistence of this mycotoxin in apple products indicates that current methods used to reduce it during the ...

One hundred and eleven samples of processed fruit juices (apple, grape, pineapple, papaya, guava, banana and mango) and 38 samples of sound fruits (apple, papaya, mango, pear and peach) produced and marketed in Brazil, ...

The effectiveness of Pichia ohmeri and Saccharomyces cerevisiae in the biodegradation of patulin was evaluated in vitro. Patulin is a toxin produced by Penicillium expansum, the predominant fungal contaminant in post-harvest ...
