Reduction of the aflatoxins B1, B2, G1 and G2 in Italian piadina by isothiocyanates

Aflatoxins (AFs) are mycotoxins produced mainly by the molds Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus parasiticus and A. nomius. These mycotoxins are contaminants of cereals. AFB1, the most abundant and toxic metabolite, is known to cause several toxic responses, such as hepatotoxicity, teratogenicity and mutagenicity. Isothiocyanates (ITCs) are natural compounds produced by the enzymatic hydrolysis of glucosinolates (GLs), which have shown potent...
