ABSTRACT

Since the 20th century, food safety has been widely valued by the people. Mycotoxins are an important source of biological contamination in food. Alternaria is one of the most common fungi that contaminate food. Its metabolite Streptococcal ketoic acid is one of the most important streptotoxin, which can widely contaminate vegetables, fruits and grains. In this paper, the pollution status, toxicological properties and detection methods of TeA were reviewed, and the future research direction was prospected, hoping to attract attention at home and abroad and promote the establishment of the national limit standard of Streptomyces toxin in advance.
