Abstract

A brief report on the food pollutant-mycotoxin, citrinin, is presented. Radioactive14C-citrinin was isolated from Aspergillus candidus grown culture supplemented with14C-glucose. Quick uptake of14C-citrinin was observed in the liver and kidney of mice, after the administration of a single dose. In vitro studies with14C-citrinin reveal that it gets bound to the albumin fraction of human serum.
