ABSTRACT
Mycotoxins are fungal secondary metabolites formed by consecutive series of enzyme-catalysed reactions from a few biochemically simple intermediates of primary metabolism. These mycotoxins can enter the human and animal food chain by direct or indirect contamination. Mycotoxins are equally harmful to animal and human beings. Realizing the importance of mycotoxins to the health of man and animals there have been concentrated efforts to develop highly sensitive analytical methods for detection and proper determination of mycotoxins in food, mixed feeds and feed ingredients, animal tissue, blood, urine and milk. Most of the mycotoxins are identified and most current research on it is concentrated on increasing sensitivity accuracy and reproducibility and above all to decrease the time of determination. A detailed review of mycotoxin and their detection is summarised in the paper.
