Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites of filamentous fungi and represent one of the most common groups of food contaminants with low molecular weight. These toxins are considered common and can affect the food chain at various stages of production, harvesting, storage and processing. Zearalenone is one of over 400 detected mycotoxins and produced by fungi of the genus ; it mainly has estrogenic effects on various organisms. Contaminated products can lead to huge economic losses and pose risks to animals and humans. In this review, we systemize information on zearalenone and its major metabolites.
真菌毒素是丝状真菌的次生代谢产物，是具有低分子量的最常见的一类食品污染物。这些毒素被认为是普遍存在的，并且可以在生产、收获、储存和加工的各个阶段影响食物链。玉米赤霉烯酮是已检测到的 400 多种真菌毒素之一，由镰刀菌属真菌产生；它主要对各种生物体具有雌激素作用。受污染的产品可能导致巨大的经济损失，并对动物和人类构成风险。在这篇综述中，我们系统地介绍了玉米赤霉烯酮及其主要代谢物的信息。
