Abstract: | People, animals and the environment can be exposed to multiple
chemicals at once from a variety of sources, but current risk
assessment is usually carried out on one chemical substance at
a time. Mycotoxins are fungal natural contaminants commonly
found in a variety of foods including baby foods and have been
found in cereal and fruit based baby foods. In human health
risk assessment, ingestion of food is considered a major route of
exposure to many contaminants including mycotoxins, although
the total amount of an ingested contaminant (external dose) does
not always reflect the amount that is available to the body (internal
dose). The amount of mycotoxin resisting to the digestion process
and potentially absorbable by the systemic circulation is only a
smaller part of that ingested. In vitro digestion models become useful
for evaluating mycotoxins bioaccessibility during the intestinal
transit and can be intended as a valuable tool for the assessment
of mycotoxin bioavailability in food. |
