Chemical and Physical Characteristics of the Principal Mycotoxins
Overview
Affiliations
This chapter provides information about the chemical and physical properties of the mycotoxins considered in this book: aflatoxins; fumonisins; ochratoxin A; trichothecenes, especially deoxynivalenol and nivalenol; zearalenone; and ergot alkaloids. This information about structures reveals the chemical diversity of mycotoxins, which is relevant to the wide range of toxicological effects in animals and humans discussed later in the book.
