“…However, considering the instability of PR-toxin in cheese (Scott and Kanhere, 1979), ROQC and MPA are considered as the most prevalent mycotoxins in blue-veined cheeses. Beyond the fact that ROQC and MPA can co-occur, the main observation of related studies is that their concentrations are also highly variable, ranging from b11 to 14,125 and from b 0.5 to 14,300 μg/kg of cheese for ROQC and MPA, respectively (Fontaine et al, 2015;Kokkonen et al, 2005;Lafont et al, 1979a). Thus, these findings raise the question of the factors that can modulate mycotoxin production in the cheese-making context.…”
