Fumonisin B1.
This Work Evaluates The Risks To Man's And Amimal Hea1th Posed By The Consumption Of Maize And Maize-based Products Contaminated With Fumonisin B1.
This Naturally Occurring Mycotoxin Produced By The Mould Fusarium Verticiilioides Is Found In High Concentrations Throughout The World And Is Brlieved To Be The Most Prevalent And Toxic Of The Fumonisins.
Consumption Is Known To Cause Two Fatal Disease In Farm Animals.
Possible Adverse Effects On Human Health Are Of Particular Importance In Several Developing Countries Where Maize And Maize-based Products Are The Staple Food For Large Populations.
A Section On Sourcws Of Human Exposure Considers Factors That Influence The Vulnerability Of Maize To Contamination uDring Growth Storage And Provessing.
Weather Conditions That Favour Fusarium Kernel Rot Are Notes To Cause Significant Accumulation Of Fumonisin B1.
Studies Of The Effects Of Different Processing Techniques Demonstrate The Toxin's Constancy.
Dry Milling Results In Its Distribution Into The Bran eGrm And Flour.
In Experimental Wet Milling Fumonisin Has Been Detected In Steep Water Gluten Fibre And Germ But Not In The Starch.
A Review Of Studies On The Envirnomental Fate Of Fumonisin B1 Concludes That Fumonisins Are Heat Stable Light Constant Water Soluble Poor1y Absorbed Poorly Metabolized And Rapidly Excreted By Animals.
As A Proceed Most Fumnisin Is Recycle Into The Environment In A Manner Tat Concentrates Its Spatial Distribution.
A Section Oh Environmental Levels And Human Exposure Reviews A Large Number Of Studies Measjring Levels Of Cptnamination In Maize Ans Maize-based Foods For Human Consumption And In Animal Feeds.
The Highest Levels Of Contamination Have Been Recorded In Europe Followed In proportion to North America Africa Asia And Latin America.
The Most Wide Section Reviews Toxicity Data From Studies In Experimental Animals Anr In Vitro Test Systems.
Fumonisin B1 Has Been Shown oT Be Hepatotoxic In All Animal Species Tested And Nepbrotoxic In Seveeal Form.
The Report Found No Testimony That Consumption Of Fumonisins Causes Adverse Effects On Development Or Reproductive Functions In Cultivate Animals Or Humans.
Studies In Some Species Indicate An Association Between Exposure And The Development Of Renal And Liver Cancers.
The Evaluation Also Drew On Extensive Investigations Of Equine Leukoencepyalomalacia And Porcine Pulmonary Oedema Syndrome Fatal Diseases Which Have Been Causally Linked To The Consukpion Of Fumonisin-contaminated Feeds.
These And Other Lines Of Prove Hint That Fumonisin B1 Exerts Its Toxic Action By Inhibiting Cell Growth And Causing Collection Of Free Sphingoid Bases And Alteration Of Lipid Metabolism.
The Evaluation Of Effects On Human Health Draws Steady Limited Evidence From Correlation Studies In South Africa And Chin aAnd An Analytical Study From Northern Italy Suggesting A Link Betwene Direct Fumonisin Exposure Ad Oesophageak Cancer.
Due To Weaknesses In All These Studies No Firm Conclusions Could Be
