WP Leader: UGENT, Subleader CNR

Objectives

Objectives

  1. Develop an alternative, more practical method and device for grain dust sampling (Task 3.1);
  2. develop and validate rapid and reliable multi-mycotoxin test kits for on-site screening. Use these rapid test kits on wheat, barley, maize, dust samples, dried fruit, nuts and medicinal herbs, at the farm level, as well as in the food/feed producing industries (Task 3.2);
  3. contribute to the development of regulations for modified (masked) mycotoxins. Determine the extent and the rate at which modified forms of deoxynivalenol, zearalenone and aflatoxins are reconverted during digestion (Task 3.3).
Tasks

Tasks

  • Task 3.1 Advanced representative sampling using grain dust (UGENT, CNR, DLO)
  • Task 3.2 Development of multi-mycotoxin test kits for on-site screening (CNR, UGENT, DLO, SJTU, BOORMALT, UNISENSOR SA, TUBITAK, CAAS, JAAS, IMPLAD )
  • Task 3.3 Modified (masked) mycotoxins and their in vivo toxicokinetics (UGENT, CNR, SIBS CAS).
  • Survey on rapid methods for mycotoxin screening launched by CNR and UGENT Survey in February 2018

    • e-mail to Dr. Veronica Lattanzio (CNR ISPA): veronica.lattanzio@ispa.cnr.it to receive the questionnaire, thank you !!
