食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)歐盟食品安全局(EFSA)消息,應(yīng)歐委會(huì)的要求,7月31日歐盟食品安全局評(píng)估了飼料中玉米烯酮及其代謝物對(duì)動(dòng)物健康構(gòu)成的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。
玉米烯酮是一種由鐮刀菌產(chǎn)生的霉菌毒素,普遍存在于糧食中。它有三種初級(jí)代謝產(chǎn)物α-ZEL、β-ZEL、α-ZAL、β-ZAL、ZAN。
歐盟食品安全局專家組分別對(duì)牛、鴨、鵝、兔子以及貓等動(dòng)物展開(kāi)了評(píng)估。經(jīng)過(guò)評(píng)估,專家組認(rèn)為,玉米烯酮及其代謝物對(duì)家禽、綿羊、狗、豬、魚(yú)構(gòu)成的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)較低。

Zearalenone (ZEN), a mycotoxin primarily produced by Fusarium fungi, occurs predominantly in cereal grains. The European Commission asked EFSA for a scientific opinion on the risk to animal health related to ZEN and its modified forms in feed. Modified forms of ZEN occurring in feed include phase I metabolites α-zearalenol (α-ZEL), β-zearalenol (β-ZEL), α-zearalanol (α-ZAL), β-zearalanol (β-ZAL), zearalanone (ZAN) and phase II conjugates.
