Research progress in Mycotoxins control in fruits and vegetables and their products

Mycotoxin-producing fungi are some of secondary metabolites that consist in cereals and animal feeds and pose a serious threat to human and animal health. Recent investigations demonstrated that fruits and vegetables could easily be contaminated by mycotoxins during storage and processing, which attracted much public attentions on the risks of the consumptions of fruits and vegetables and their products.The types of common mytocoxins, the corresponding pathogenic fungi, and contamination occurrence in fruits and vegetables were assessed, and the control strategies against mycotoxin contaminations were reviewed in this paper from the aspects of physical methods, chemical methods and biological methods.The biological control strategies, which is high-effective, safe, and eco-friendly, exhibited great potential for application in contamination remove on fruits and vegetables.
