General Description

Diacetoxyscirpenol is a type A trichothecene that is produced from the fungi of the genus Fusarium species. Trichothecenes are known as major contaminants of cereals and cereal-containing foods. Diacetoxyscirpenol has been detected in agricultural products worldwide and persists in products after processing. In human as well as in animals, diacetoxyscirpenol consumption has been shown to induce haematological disorders (neutropenia, aplastic anemia). The main adverse effects of diacetoxyscirpenol after acute and repeated exposure were emesis.
