A growing trend towards studying multiple mycotoxins simultaneously, acknowledging that food products often contain various contaminants that can have cumulative health effects. - Biodegradation and Biocontrol Methods:
Increased focus on biological methods for mycotoxin reduction, including the use of probiotics, natural extracts, and microbial solutions to mitigate contamination. - Technological Innovations in Detection:
Emerging research on advanced detection techniques such as smartphone-based technologies and mass spectrometry, which enhance the ability to monitor mycotoxin levels effectively. - Impact of Climate Change on Mycotoxin Production:
Research is increasingly addressing how climate change and abiotic factors influence the growth of mycotoxin-producing fungi and the subsequent risk of contamination. - Public Health and Policy Implications:
A trend towards linking mycotoxin research with public health outcomes and the development of policies aimed at mitigating risks, particularly in vulnerable populations.
Declining or Waning
- Historical Reviews and General Overviews:
There has been a noticeable decrease in papers focusing on broad historical reviews or general overviews of mycotoxin issues, as the journal shifts towards more specific and actionable research. - Traditional Agricultural Practices:
Research centered on conventional agricultural practices and their relationship with mycotoxin contamination appears to be declining, as newer studies emphasize innovative and integrated management strategies. - Single Mycotoxin Studies:
There is a waning interest in studies that focus exclusively on single mycotoxins, with a growing preference for multi-mycotoxin analyses that reflect the complex interactions and cumulative effects in food systems.
