Patulin(CAT: R012285) is a mycotoxin produced by several species of molds, particularly Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Byssachlamys, often found in moldy fruits like apples. It is a toxic compound that poses health risks when ingested, including gastrointestinal issues and potential genotoxic effects. Patulin contamination is a significant concern in the food industry, especially in fruit juices, as it can persist even after pasteurization. Regulatory agencies worldwide have set limits on acceptable patulin levels in food products to ensure consumer safety. Ongoing research continues to investigate its toxicity, mechanisms of action, and methods for detecting and mitigating its presence in food products.
