FAQ

Citrinin is a mycotoxin produced by certain species of fungi, primarily Fusarium. It is characterized by its chemical formula C15H14O5 and has a yellow to orange color. Citrinin is known for its nephrotoxic and cytotoxic properties.
Citrinin is primarily used as an indicator of fungal contamination in food products. It is also studied in toxicology for its effects on kidney function and as a model compound for nephrotoxicity research.
Citrinin is generally not considered safe for human consumption. It is regulated in many countries due to its potential to cause kidney damage. Adequate safety measures and monitoring are necessary to prevent its presence in food and feed.
Citrinin should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It should be kept in a tightly sealed container to prevent degradation. The storage temperature should not exceed 25°C to ensure stability and safety.
