General description

Citrinin is a mycotoxin from Penicillium citrinin that comprises a quinone methide component.

Application

Citrinin has been used as:
  • a standard for calibration curve preparation for citrinin quantification Monascus purpureus ATCC 36928
  • an internal standard in thin layer chromatography (TLC) for characterizing the citrinin from Aspergillus and Penicillium strains
  • standard to characterize citrinin for rotten apples TLC

Biochem/physiol Actions

Citrinin is a predominant contaminant in agriculture supplies and food. It exhibits genotoxic, embryotoxic, and teratogenic properties. It is hepatonephrotoxin and a potent mycotoxin in rice grains.
