Patulin: its toxicity and possible contamination of products used in baby nutrition

Abstract

Patulin is a secondary metabolite produced by molds such as Penicillium Aspergillus and Byssochlamys Mainly patulin may be present in many foods including baby foods fruits especially apple and apple based products Severity of patulin toxicity is correlated with the amount of consumed fruit products Therefore daily amount of consumption of these products is very important in infants and children who are vulnerable to toxic effects In recent years many studies on this field showed that patulin levels in fruit based products were higher than the limit of provisional maximum tolerable daily intake In this review the major toxic effects of patulin the limits in baby foods and the approaches for prevention of formation of patulin have been summarized in the light of current literatur knowledge Turk Arch Ped 2011; 46: 275 9

Patulin: toksisitesi ve bebek beslenmesinde kullanılan ürünlerde olası bulaşma

Öz

Patulin Penicillium Aspergillus ve Byssochlamys gibi küf mantarları tarafından üretilen ikincil bir metabolittir Patulin başlıca meyve ve özellikle elma ve elma bazlı ürünler ve bebek mamaları dahil birçok gıdada bulunabilir Patulin toksisitesinin şiddeti tüketilen meyve ürünlerinin miktarı ile orantılıdır Toksik etkilere karşı daha hassas olan bebek ve çocuklarda bu ürünlerin günlük tüketim miktarı bu nedenle önemlidir Son yıllarda bu konuda yapılan çalışmalar meyve bazlı ürünlerdeki patulin düzeylerinin günlük öngörülen en yüksek tolere edilebilir alım sınırlarından daha yüksek olduğunu göstermiştir Bu derlemede patulinin büyük toksik etkileri bebek mamalarındaki limitler ve patulin oluşumunu önleme yaklaşımları güncel literatür bilgileri ışığında özetlenmiştir.
