Fungal Growth and Mycotoxins Production: Types, Toxicities, Control Strategies, and Detoxification

IntechOpen eBooks (2021)

Chinaza Godswill Awuchi Erick Nyakundi Ondari Josiah Eseoghene Ifie Hannington Twinomuhwezi Ikechukwu O. Amagwula

Fungal growth and the production of mycotoxins are influenced by several factors. Environmental conditions such as temperature, water activity, and humidity affect mycotoxin production and fungal growth. Other factors such as pH, fungal strain, and substrate also play roles. Common mycotoxins include aflatoxins, fumonisins, trichothecenes, sterigmatocystin (STC), citrinin, ergot alkaloids, ochratoxins, zearalenones (ZEAs), patulin, deoxynivalenol (DON), Alternaria toxins, tremorgenic mycotoxins, fusarins, cyclochlorotine, sporidesmin, 3-nitropropionic acid, etc. These toxins cause many health conditions in animals and humans, including death. A comprehensive approach starting from the field before planting, continuing throughout the entire food chain is required to control mycotoxin contamination. Good practices, such as proper field practices before and after planting, good harvest practices and postharvest handling, and proper drying and storage measures, help reduce mycotoxin contamination. Several physical, biological, and chemical techniques have been applied to help reduce/eliminate mycotoxin contamination. Food processing also play slight role in mycotoxins removal.

Egg shelf life can be extended using varied proportions of polyvinyl alcohol/chitosan composite coatings

Food Science & Nutrition (2023)

dariush khademi shurmasti Pezhman Riazi Kermani Maryam Sarvarian Chinaza Godswill Awuchi

Using biopolymers in the form of edible coating as egg eco-friendly packaging is a progressive approach. The blending of biopolymers is one of the procedures for overcoming mechanical weakness and benefiting from their maximum synergistic effect. Aiming to determine the relative ratios of chitosan (CH 4 w/v%) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA 5 w/v%) in the composition of blended coatings, an experiment was conducted with six treatments (

Plants, phytochemicals, and natural practices in complementary and alternative system of medicine for treatment of central nervous system disorders

International Journal of Food Properties (2023)

Chinaza Godswill Awuchi

Complementary and alternative system of medicine has been at the center of drug discovery for different CNS disorders. Medicinal plants have been in use in healthcare settings and have interestingly fostered the leads for drug development aimed at treating various diseases such as CND disorders, malaria, mycetoma, and inflammation. Electroacupuncture (EA) has the ability to protect prolonged restraint stress, attenuate depressions, and manage few CNS disorders. Bacopa monnieri, Rhodiola rosea, Centella asiatica, Cannabis sativa, Curcuma longa, Cyperus rotundus, Morinda citrifolia, and Withania somnifera are among the most common plants used for treating CNS disorder. Bioactive compounds such as valtrate, curcumin, cannabinoids, apomorphine, pergolide, benzatropine, β-asarone, α-Asarone have been used to treat various CNS disorders, such as addiction, insomnia, depression, Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, vitiligo, Parkinson's disease. These complementary and alternative system of medicines have promising lead in the quest to develop more drugs for CNS disorders.
