Zearalenone

Description:
Zearalenone is a mycotoxin produced by certain species of fungi, particularly Fusarium, which commonly contaminate crops such as corn and wheat. It is classified as a non-steroidal estrogenic compound, exhibiting structural similarities to estrogen, which allows it to bind to estrogen receptors in animals and humans. Zearalenone is a white to pale yellow crystalline solid, and it is soluble in organic solvents like methanol and ethanol, but less soluble in water. Its molecular formula is C18H22O5, and it has a molecular weight of approximately 318.37 g/mol. The substance is known for its potential health effects, particularly in livestock, where it can disrupt reproductive functions and lead to various health issues. In humans, exposure to zearalenone can occur through the consumption of contaminated food products, raising concerns about its safety and regulatory limits in food and feed. Monitoring and controlling zearalenone levels in agricultural products is crucial to mitigate its impact on health and food safety.
