New insight into mycotoxins and bacterial toxins: Toxicity assessment, molecular mechanism and food safety (preface to the special issue of food and chemical toxicology on the outcomes of Myco & bacterial toxin).

ABSTRACT

The special issue "New Insight into Mycotoxins and Bacterial Toxins Toxicity Assessment, Molecular Mechanism and Food Safety" in Food and Chemical Toxicology contains 19 articles on current hot topics in mycotoxins and bacterial toxins. Dietary exposure to mycotoxins and risk assessments are reported in this issue. Molecular mechanisms of multiple mycotoxins and emerging mechanisms of toxicity are especially concerned by researchers. Moreover, mycotoxin-detoxifying substances and antimicrobial agents are also fully investigated in the context. This special issue will help to further understand the mycotoxins and bacterial toxins, casting new light for the control of food safety.
