Citrinin (CIT) deserves attention due to its known toxic effects in mammalian species and its
widespread occurrence in food commodities, often along with ochratoxin A, another …

Citrinin (CIT), a fungal metabolite causing nephrotoxicity, has a tolerable daily intake (TDI)
value of 0.2 μg/kg bw. Contamination of food with CIT is not sufficiently known to allow …

Citrinin (CIT) is a scarcely studied mycotoxin within foodstuffs, so the biomonitoring of this
toxin and its metabolite dihydrocitrinone (DH-CIT) in biological samples represents the main …

Citrinin (CIT) is a mycotoxin which causes contamination in the food and is associated with
different toxic effects. A web search on CIT has been conducted covering the timespan since …

Citrinin (CIT), produced by several Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Monascus species, has
been detected as contaminant in feeds, grains, and other food commodities. CIT can co …

Losses of harvested fruits and vegetables can be attributed to decaying fungi. These fungi
are pathogenic and also a source of mycotoxins, which pose a health threat to humans and …

Background: Citrinin is a mycotoxin produced by several species of the genera Aspergillus,
Penicillium and Monascus and it occurs mainly in stored grain. Citrinin is generally formed …
