Part of the book series: Residue Reviews ((RECT,volume 41))

Abstract

The mycotoxins are naturally-produced toxic fungal metabolites appearing in food and feed. The differences existing between the antibiotics and the mycotoxins are related to the relative toxicity to the host versus the pathogenic bacteria resident in the host. Mycotoxin residues appear in foods and feeds through natural events over which man may not have full control, or may be present because people fail to exercise and use fully the known control procedures available. By contrast, the economic poisons such as insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, or drugs generate a residue problem following a deliberate act of man to achieve a useful purpose.
