“…Mycotoxin patulin (4‐hydroxy‐4H‐furo[3,2‐c]pyran‐2[6H]‐one) is a secondary metabolite mainly produced by certain species of Penicillium , Aspergillus , and Byssochlamys , which can be found in a number of plant products, including apples, pears, apricots, peaches, grapes, strawberries, and blueberries (Speijers, ). During the past 20 years, many studies demonstrated that the toxin is present, not only in rotting grains, fruits, and vegetables, but also in processed products such as cider or apple juice, as well as other fruit juices (Beretta, Gaiaschi, Galli, & Restani, ; Leggott & Shephard, ; Paster, ). Chronic health effects of patulin include genotoxicity, immunotoxicity, and neurotoxicity in rodents, while its effects on humans are not clear yet (Spadaro, Frati, Garibaldi, Gullino, & Berolini, ).…”
