Four analogues of ochratoxin A (OTA) differing for the aminoacidic moiety were synthesised using ochratoxin α (OTα) as the starting material. The condensation reaction between protected amino acids and OTα, carried out in the presence of 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC • HCl) and N-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) as coupling agents, followed by deprotection and PTLC purification afforded OTA alanine, leucine, serine and tryptophane analogues in satisfactory yields (33-47%, based on OTα).

Analysis of bulk wheat consignments for naturally-occurring contaminants and residues from plant protection products is common, and helps manage potential health risks to consumers. The heterogeneous distribution of some mycotoxins in wheat has been described, however the distribution of other contaminants and residues has not yet been reported. This study characterized distributions of deoxynivalenol, ochratoxin A, ergot alkaloids, cadmium, and glyphosate in nine large consignments of wheat by analysing composite samples representing sub-lots prepared from increments obtained during the entire loading process.

Article Synopsis
- Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a food contaminant linked to organ toxicity, particularly affecting the kidneys, and there is currently no specific treatment for this condition.
- A study investigated the protective effects of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a powerful antioxidant, against OTA-induced nephrotoxicity in rats, revealing significant increases in harmful kidney parameters due to OTA exposure.
- The research demonstrated that EGCG effectively reduced the activation of the NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD pathway associated with kidney damage, suggesting it could be a viable strategy for protecting against OTA toxicity.

Aspergillus and Fusarium are two economically important genera of fungi. They cause significant yield losses and contamination of crops with mycotoxins. In this study we aimed to evaluate the impact of 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (2,4-DAPG) on Aspergillus and Fusarium fungi.

A lack of control of the technological abiotic parameters apparent during cheese manufacture, including temperature and relative humidity, results in this dairy product being prone to mold contamination. Sometimes, inoculant molds are used to obtain the characteristic sensory properties of this type of product. However, during the maturation process, some unwanted molds can colonize the ripening cheese and produce mycotoxins.

Article Synopsis
- Mycotoxins cause immune system damage and disrupt mitochondrial function, but their effects on the RIG-I like receptor (RLR) pathway remain unclear.
- The study used porcine alveolar macrophages to assess the protective effects of three isomers of chlorogenic acid against mitochondrial damage from combined mycotoxins (Aflatoxin B1, Deoxynivalenol, and Ochratoxin A).
- Results showed that all isomers helped counteract mycotoxin toxicity, with isochlorogenic acid A being the most effective in preserving mitochondrial balance and enhancing immune response via the RLR pathway.
