"Novel photosensor-based device for rapid and quantitative ochratoxin A determination in wine, beer and feed" (OTASENS)
Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2011,
"The deterioration of food commodities by biotic factors is a serious and widespread problem. In particular, the contamination of different food and feed commodities by ochratoxin A (OTA) produced by several widespread fungi represents a serious health risk due to the high toxicity of OTA. This toxin causes nephrotoxic, genotoxic, immunosuppressive and carcinogenic effects on humans and animals. I ...
