Newest firstCannabis plants are susceptible to microbial contamination, including fungi capable of producing harmful mycotoxins. The presence of these toxins in cannabis products poses serious health risks, especially when used for medical purposes in immunocompromised people. This study evaluated the presence of fungi and mycotoxins in dried cannabis buds following gamma irradiation, using culture-based techniques, PCR/qPCR,…
Open article record in new tab ↗Plant-based alternatives to animal-based foods represent a rapidly growing market, as more and more consumers are willing to include these products into their daily diets. One particular segment is plant-based milk alternatives (PBMAs). Environmental and ethical concerns mainly drive this growing trend. However, the raw materials used in the production of PBMAs are susceptible to mycotoxin contamination, and curre…
Throughout the hundreds of millions of years of co-evolution, plants and microorganisms have established intricate symbiotic and pathogenic relationships. Microbial communities associated with plants are in constant flux and can ultimately determine whether a plant will successfully reproduce or be destroyed by their environment. Inheritance of beneficial microorganisms is an adaptation plants can use to protect g…
Open article record in new tab ↗Cereals are subject to contamination by pathogenic fungi, which damage grains and threaten public health with their mycotoxins. Fusarium graminearum and its mycotoxins, trichothecenes B (TCTBs), are especially targeted in this study. Recently, the increased public and political awareness concerning environmental issues tends to limit the use of traditional fungicides against these pathogens in favor of eco-friendl…
