TL;DR: The aim of this review is to give a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge on plant metabolites of mycotoxins, also called masked mycot oxins, which are secondary fungal metabolites, toxic to human and animals, and their impact on stakeholders.

TL;DR: This review focuses on recent developments in the determination of mycotoxins with a special emphasis on LC–MS/MS (liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry) and emerging rapid methods.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review on furan in foods, its metabolism and toxicity is presented, along with the precursors and chemical mechanisms that may be involved, and the prospects for limiting the occurrence, formation and retention of furans in foods are discussed.

TL;DR: The compositional variation of the fatty acid, triacylglycerol, tocopherol, tocotrienol and sterene composition of genuine cocoa butter due to different geographical growing regions and breeding lines as well as other vegetable fats used in confectionery manufacturing (cocoa butter equivalents, CBE) have been investigated as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Values for the composition of the sterols, triglycerides, fatty acids, iodine value, and tocopherol composition were generally in good agreement with the results of previous similar surveys.
