Abstract
Issues of food, feed, and renewable raw materials safety are widely covered in world literature today. Mycotoxicoses of grains, vegetables, potatoes, fruits, and other agricultural products pose a serious threat to human and animal health. Direct crop loss due to fungal contamination can reach 50% for cereals only, and the harvest may be totally unsuitable for human and animal consumption because of mycotoxin contamination. Mycotoxins are carcinogenic, mutagenic, and immunosuppressive agents which cause liver and kidney damages, nervous system effects, gastrointestinal dysfunction, blood disorders, septic sore throat, dermatitis, and also violate the reproductive function.
