Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the detection field, and in particular relates to a method for detecting citrinin toxin in red yeast rice. Background technique
[0002] Citrinin is mainly a secondary metabolite produced by Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Monascus. Citrinin is widely distributed and mainly exists in grain products such as wheat, corn, oats, and processed fruits such as apples and pears. Citrinin has good antibacterial properties and can inhibit Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Streptomyces griseus, etc. It was used as a food preservative to smear on perishable meat in ancient my country. However, citrinin has not been widely used because of its strong nephrotoxicity, and its pollution has attracted more and more attention, and it has been listed as one of the toxins that must be detected by the European Branch of the Natural Toxin Detection Committee of the International Academy of Life Sciences.
