Ochratoxins have been overshadowed by better-known mycotoxins, but they are gaining importance. Here we consider ochratoxins in the context of aflatoxins, which are better understood than ochratoxins on many levels. We review recent work on taxonomic distribution, contamination of commodities, biosynthesis, toxicity and regulatory aspects of ochratoxins. We focus on ochratoxins in coffee, since coffee is becoming a key commodity in ochratoxin research and regulation.
赭曲霉毒素一直被更为人熟知的霉菌毒素所掩盖，但它们正变得越来越重要。在此，我们将赭曲霉毒素置于黄曲霉毒素的背景下进行考量，黄曲霉毒素在许多层面上比赭曲霉毒素更易理解。我们综述了关于赭曲霉毒素的分类分布、商品污染、生物合成、毒性及监管方面的最新研究。我们重点关注咖啡中的赭曲霉毒素，因为咖啡正成为赭曲霉毒素研究与监管中的关键商品。
