This Fumonisin Rapid Test Kit is based on lateral flow immunoassay to detect Fumonisin in feed, nuts and cereal. It is fast, sensitive and reliable. The detection limit is 2mg/kg.
Fumonisins are secondary metabolites produced in cereals by pathogenic fungi, namely Fusarium verticillioides, Fusarium proliferatum, and related species. More than 15 fumonisin homologues have been known and characterized as fumonisin A, B, C, and P. A temporary maximum tolerable daily intake for fumonisins has been set as 2 μg/kg bw/day based on the lack of any observed adverse effects for nephrotoxicity in male rats by the joint Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and World Health Organization (WHO).
