J. N. da  aPatulin in foodbstate-of-the-art and analytical trends.  c2007  aPatulin is a mycotoxin produced by several fungal species of the genera Penicillium and Aspergillus, found on several fruit species and, remarkably, in apples and apple products. Patulin has a broad spectrum of toxicity, including carcinogenicity and teratogenicity in animals. Due to the stability of the molecule, considerable amounts of patulin still remain in apple products after processing. This paper reviews different analytical methods for patulin determination and methods to reduce levels of patulin in apple products as well.  aanalytical methods  aContaminação  aDoença de Planta  aFruticultura  aFungo  aMaçã  aMicotoxina  aApple  aDeterminação  aMétodo analítico  aMicotoxins  aPatulina  aToxicidade1 aSCHUCH, P.
