Abstract

Trichothecenes, pose significant health risks to humans and animals by contaminating food and feed. These toxins are classified into Type A and Type B. Type A trichothecenes are commonly detected in various food matrices, while Type B trichothecenes contaminate crops and are linked to alimentary toxicities, including emetic reactions. Advanced detection methods such as liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry are widely used. Biological controls, such as Debaryomyces hansenii, have shown promise, reducing toxin content and suppressing pathogen spread. Trichothecenes exhibit ribotoxic, pro-inflammatory, and cytotoxic effects, making their management a critical focus in food safety. This review comprehensively explores detection techniques, management strategies, and the impact of trichothecene contamination on human health, emphasizing its relevance in public policy and food security.

Abstract

A significant transition from fossil fuel-based economy to one based on biomass is occurring as a result of global warming, socioeconomic challenges, and new policies, which are propelling decarbonisation process across industries. The usage of bioplastics is the most effective way to address the issue of plastic trash. Bioplastics are a safe and sustainable substitute for petrochemical or traditional plastics that lessen our reliance on fossil fuels. The strategic substitution of sustainable products for those derived from petrochemicals not only promotes environmental conservation but also advances the achievement of several sustainable development goals (SDGs). Post-treatment methods, such as photolysis, thermochemical treatment, and biodegradation were used in this study. These alternatives support in lowering greenhouse gas emissions and increasing resource efficiency, which greatly supports SDGs 12 and 15, Responsible Consumption and Production and Life on Land, respectively. This study explores how the (SDGs) could be implemented effectively and makes it clear that sustainable consumption and production (SCP) should be given significant consideration in their production.
