Research – Recent Advances in Non-Contact Food Decontamination Technologies for Removing Mycotoxins and Fungal Contaminants

Posted on July 20, 2024 by | Leave a comment

MDPI

Abstract

Agricultural food commodities are highly susceptible to contamination by fungi and mycotoxins, which cause great economic losses and threaten public health. New technologies such as gamma ray irradiation, ultraviolet radiation, electron beam irradiation, microwave irradiation, pulsed light, pulsed electric fields, plasma, ozone, etc. can solve the problem of fungal and mycotoxin contamination which cannot be effectively solved by traditional food processing methods. This paper summarizes recent advancements in emerging food decontamination technologies used to control various fungi and their associated toxin contamination in food. It discusses the problems and challenges faced by the various methods currently used to control mycotoxins, looks forward to the new trends in the development of mycotoxin degradation methods in the future food industry, and proposes new research directions.

USA – Delta’s ‘spoiled food’ that forced emergency NYC landing was covered in black mold: sources

Posted on July 5, 2024 by | Leave a comment

New York Post

The “spoiled food” that sickened passengers on a Delta Air Lines flight and forced an emergency landing in New York City was covered in black mold, sources told The Post Wednesday.

At least 24 became ill after eating the mold-laden food aboard Amsterdam-bound Flight 136, which touched down a little after 3 a.m. at JFK Airport, sources said.

Air traffic controllers initially told the airport that 70 people were sickened but just two dozen were treated for symptoms by EMS. No one was hospitalized.
