Food-safety related products include natural toxins which may (but should NOT) occur in food-stuffs, standartized "injection-ready" solutions of toxins in commonly used solvents and the like.

The standard solutions serve as the quantitatively reliable samples of the toxic materials, obtained from tested samples of food by conventional extraction methods.

Highly purified solid toxins serve as starting materials for preparation of antibodies, which may be a part of bioassays etc.

Applications

Natural enniatins occure as a mixture of several related analogs, known as "Enniatins", or "Enniatin complex"

Enniatins occure in nature in the mycelia of some Fusarium species. Being cyclic and hydrophopic molecules, enniatins are able to act as ionophores. More recently their effects on acyl-CoA cholesterol transferase, transporters and the selectivity of their antitumor action have received more focus. Enniatin has not previously been available for investigation.
