Training Course on: "Detection techniques for mycotoxins and toxigenic fungi in the food chain"
AIMS
A one-week workshop-training course to be held at ISPA-CNR in Bari, Italy, by the joint activity of the MycoRed project and ISM (International Society for Mycotoxicology).
The goal of the course is to demonstrate and teach traditional methods and new molecular, chemical and immunological systems for rapid, robust and user friendly identification of mycotoxins and toxigenic fungi in the food chain. Much of gthe course will be spent on practical training in the laboratory.
TOPICS
- Lectures: overviews of major methods for mycotoxins/toxigenic fungi detection.
- Laboratory:
- chemical/immunochemical analysis of major mycotoxins (aflatoxins, ochratoxin A, fumonisins, trichothecenes);
- morphological identification of major toxigenic species of Aspergillus, Penicillium and Fusarium;
- molecular techniques for identification and quantification of toxigenic fungi.
