The co-occurrence of the toxins is also of relevance due to the possibility
of synergistic toxicological effects. In 44% of contaminated samples,
more than one mycotoxin was detected. TeA was found simultaneously with othermycotoxin in half of the fruits contaminated
with this metabolite; alternariols were detected co-produced with another
compoundmore frequently than as the only contaminant. In consequence,
more studies are necessary to evaluate the interaction among
mycotoxins concerning human toxicity.
