چکیده:   (980 مشاهده)
Mycotoxins, the secondary metabolites produced by several common airborne filamentous fungi, may contaminate human food and animal feeds, especially in developing countries (1, 2). Even though aflatoxin has been widely studied and reported as the most common and important mycotoxin in global and Iranian scientific literature (3, 4), zearalenone (ZEA) has sadly been abandoned, particularly in Iran. ZEA, which is also known as F-2 toxin, ecoestrogen and mycoestrogen, is an estrogenic-like fungal toxin (Figure 1) produced by several Fusarium (F.) species such as F. graminearum, F. culmoru, F. cerealis, F. equiseti, F. verticillioides, and F. incarnatum (5). These fungi commonly contaminate several cereal grains, such as corn (in particular), barley, oats, rye, wheat, rice, sorghum, and their derivatives worldwide (6).
