Abstract
Mycotoxins, a toxic secondary metabolite, unpredictably, and unavoidably occur in foods and feeds, leading to adverse health impacts and enormous economic losses in the agriculture industry. Moreover, mycotoxin contamination has been a great threat for the public health and agriculture economy development worldwide. Therefore, the control of the mycotoxin contamination is of great importance and has caused rising concern worldwide. Recently, emerging nanomaterials have been promisingly applied in the control of mycotoxin contamination and have obtained many achievements. In this review, first of all, the type, occurrence, and toxicity of mycotoxins are simply discussed. Then, attentions are focused on the applications of emerging nanomaterials to controlling the mycotoxin contamination, including mycotoxin assay, the inhibition of mycotoxin production, the adsorption of mycotoxins, and mycotoxin elimination. In the end, the future opportunities and challenges on the toxicity, occurrence, and control of mycotoxins are tentatively put forward.
