Food safety is an important concern that includes handling, preparation and storage of food ingredients in ways that prevent poisoning. Unhealthy food creates a cycle of disease and malnutrition that affects infants and adults as well. Foods can be contaminated by microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi. There are specific bacteria which are the primary causes of foodborne diseases; among them: Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica, Campylobacter jejuni, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, and Bacillus cereus. These microbes might have been present before the food was harvested or collected, or they could have been introduced during handling or preparation. Pesticides and veterinary drugs introduced to protect plants and animals from pests and diseases could later unintentionally result in contamination of the food products derived from these sources (e.g. mycotoxins, heavy metals or persistent organic pollutants).

The necessity to determine pathogenic organisms and their toxins serves as a fundamental requirement to guarantee the safety and quality of our food supplies. Detection methods with enhanced sensitivity and rapid results are a prerequisite to achieve efficient tests.

Fermentek supports customers globally with a wide range of food-safety related products to ensure the integrity of customers’ needs. Our food safety testing materials can be used for determination of contaminants or toxins. Also, our test procedure can determine and quantify adulterants, hazardous chemicals or pathogens present in food that can have a dangerous influence on human health.

Food Safety Related Products

Food-safety related products produced by Fermentek include natural toxins which may occur in foodstuffs and standard "ready to use" solutions (Mycotoxin Standards) of toxins containing known accurate amounts in commonly used solvents. The standard solutions serve as quantitatively reliable samples of the toxic materials, which can be compared to tested samples of food by conventional analytical methods.

Mycotoxin Food Safety Standards

Fermentek is a global leader in the production of certified Mycotoxin reference materials for food safety labs and for R&D use. Mycotoxins are toxic fungal metabolites that may appear in food and feed as a result of fungal infection of crops such as cereals, dried fruit and many other agricultural products.

Accurate analysis of Mycotoxins depends upon the use of certified Mycotoxin standard reference materials used for calibration and validation of food safety analytical instruments and methods. High quality standards, calibrants, and reference materials are a prerequisite for valid results in any such analysis.

Among the regulated Mycotoxins offered by Fermentek are: Aflatoxin B1, B2, G1, G2, M1, M2, Aflatoxicol, Aphidicolin, Citrinin, Cytochalasin, Deoxynivalenol (DON), HT-2 toxin, Fumonisin, Fusarenon X, Gliotoxin, Nivalenol, Ochratoxin, Patulin, Sterigmatocystin, T2 Toxin, Tentoxin, and Zearalenone.

Description

Diacetoxyscirpenol (DAS) also known as Anguidine,  is a mycotoxin belonging to 12,13-epoxytrichothecene group, produced by several Fusarium strains together with some other toxins such as T2 and HT2 toxins.

 DAS inhibits initiation of protein synthesis, causing the death of intensively replicating cells. By the virtue of this effect, DAS possesses teratogenic and anti proliferatory properties. Consequently,  DAS attracts interest as a potential cancer- drug.

Diacetoxyscirpenol (Anguidine) and its derivates possess anticancer properties. Diacetoxyscirpenol (Anguidine) inhibits initiation of protein synthesis, resulting in the death of rapidly proliferating cells. Diacetoxyscirpenol (Anguidine) also has been shown to both potentiate and protect against the cytotoxic effects of other drugs. There were 14 clinical trials reported, all in the area of colorectal tumors and leukemia. No records found after 1985. Apoptosis inducement.

15-acetyl Deoxynivalenol is soluble in common polar organic solvents as acetonitrile, methanol and ethyl acetate, only slightly soluble in water. Trichothecenes with acetoxy-groups are unstable in methanol, even when stored in a freezer [H. Pettersson, EU-Commission Progress Report SMT4-CT96-2047, 1-24, (1998), "Intercomparison of trichothecene analysis and feasibility to produce certified calibrants and reference material"] Acetonitrile is recommended as solvent for 15-acetyl Deoxynivalenol as it has no significant UV absorbance below 220 nm.

Description

Deoxynivalenol (DON , Vomitoxin) is a type B trichothecene. It occurs in grains such as wheat, barley, oats, rye, and maize, rice, sorghum. Deoxynivalenol (DON ) is produced by numerous strains of Fusarium and some other fungi. Deoxynivalenol (DON ) poisonings occur both in humans and farm animals. Deoxynivalenol (DON ) is highly toxic, producing a wide range of immunological disturbances and is particularly noted for inducing feed refusal and emesis in pigs, hence the alternative name vomitoxin Deoxynivalenol (DON ) usually co-occurs with other Fusarium toxins, such as Zearalenone, Nivalenol and its derivates, as well as the group of fumonisins.
