Ochratoxin C

Product name:Ochratoxin C

Product description:The ochratoxins are pentaketides made up of dihydro-isocoumarin linked to ß-phenylalanine. The most important and most toxic ochratoxin found naturally in food is ochratoxin A (OTA). The only other ochratoxin found in food is ochratoxin B, which is rare and much less toxic. Other structurally related ochratoxins include ochratoxin C, a and ß. These have been isolated from fungal cultures, but are not normally found in foods. The remainder of this section therefore refers specifically to OTA.
