Ochratoxin Testing Solutions

Ochratoxins are potent fungal toxins that can contaminate both unprocessed and processed food and feed, especially when stored in hot and humid conditions. These toxins primarily affect the kidneys and are carcinogenic to rodents. They are produced by species of Aspergillus and Penicillium, and are commonly found in crops, coffee, wine, and dried grapes. Ochratoxin is most often produced during storage under conditions that favor mold growth, such as warm and humid environments with moisture levels above 14% and temperatures above 20°C. Many countries have established regulations to protect consumers from the harmful effects of ochratoxin ingestion. For example, the European Union has established maximum levels for food and guidance levels for feed, while China has established allowable levels of ochratoxin in feed. Other countries with regulations include Singapore, Malaysia, Korea, Indonesia, and China. Romer Labs is a leader in the field, with over 40 years of experience, offering an extensive portfolio of comprehensive ochratoxin testing solutions.
