Ochratoxins<\/strong> are a class of mycotoxin<\/a> produced by some types of mold<\/a>, including some species of aspergillus<\/a> and penicillium<\/a>. Ochratoxins are carcinogenic<\/a>. Molds<\/strong> that produce ochratoxins are therefore particularly dangerous toxic mold<\/a>s.<\/p>\n There are three types of ochratoxin: A, B and C. Ochratoxin-A<\/strong> is the most commonly occurring myotoxin in food<\/a>. Ochratoxin-B<\/strong> is rare, and type C has never been encountered in natural products.<\/p>\n The molds that produce ochratoxins can grow on cereals<\/a> (such as corn<\/a>, barley<\/a>, wheat<\/a>, and oats<\/a>), peanuts<\/a>, coffee, grapes, dried fruit (e.g. raisins) and wine<\/a>.<\/p>\n Some studies indicate a high level of ochratoxins in house dust<\/a> (Romer Labs).<\/p>\n This toxin can accumulate in the body. This of particular concern when eating meat. The problem appears to be of greatest concern with pork. <\/p>\n The effects of ochratoxins produced by mold<\/b> do not seem to have been carefully studied in humans, which is strange, given its importance as a toxin.
