Over the past ten years it has become quite apparent that mycotoxins, or toxins produced by fungi, are responsible for a wide variety of human and animal illnesses and, in many cases, deaths. Consequently, the study of the metabolites produced by fungi and the possible occurrence of such metabolites in foodstuffs is of critical importance. It is the purpose of this paper to outline the approach taken at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in evaluating the possible hazard to human health posed by the growth of molds on foods, and to elaborate upon the results of studies sponsored by FDA relative to the metabolites produced by four mold species frequently found on foodstuffs. i.e., S. atra, P. islandicum, P. viridicatum and A. versicolor.
在过去十年中，很明显霉菌毒素，即由真菌产生的毒素，会导致各种各样的人类和动物疾病，并且在许多情况下会导致死亡。因此，研究真菌产生的代谢物以及这些代谢物在食品中可能出现的情况至关重要。本文的目的是概述美国食品药品监督管理局在评估食品上霉菌生长对人类健康可能造成的危害时所采用的方法，并详细阐述由美国食品药品监督管理局资助的关于四种常见于食品中的霉菌物种，即黑曲霉、岛青霉、黄绿青霉和杂色曲霉所产生的代谢物的研究结果。
