Ochratoxin
DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.
Ochratoxins are a group of substances belonging to the mycotoxins. They are present, sometimes in high concentrations, in cereals and cereal products, in coffee, cocoa, red wine and occasionally also in the meat of slaughtered animals (except in beef, as bacteria in the rumen of the animals break down ochratoxins). Since they are not degraded but stored in the human body, they are regularly detectable in the blood of humans, depending on their eating habits.
