They cause deleterious effects on humans, animals, and plants. More than one hundred mycotoxins are known which contaminate food and feed raw materials. Fungal infection and mycotoxin contamination can occur directly in fields (pre-harvest stage), during storage, or during industrial processing (post-harvest stage). Given the proven toxicity of mycotoxins and their widespread distribution, it is necessary to prevent their occurrence in food and feed. To limit mycotoxin contamination, several techniques can be adopted at the pre-harvest or post-harvest stages. These techniques can reduce mycotoxin concentration through fungal growth reduction or mechanisms leading to mycotoxin degradation or mycotoxin detoxification (i.e., reduction of the toxicity). Until very recently, fungicides were favored to limit mycotoxin contamination by reducing fungal growth. Nonetheless, the sanitary and environmental impacts of these products and their effects on food quality encourage the development of alternative strategies based on biocontrol agents (BCAs) or natural compounds. Moreover, in some cases, fungal growth reduction can stimulate mycotoxin production. The focus of this Special Issue of Toxins is to gather the most recent advances related to reducing mycotoxin contamination in food and feed using BCAs and natural compounds. In this context, two main types of approaches can be proposed: Preventive methods that could be applied in the field, during storage, or during industrial processing and curative methods that detoxify contaminated matrices by eliminating the produced mycotoxin. 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 606 $aBiology, life sciences$2bicssc 610 $aantimycotoxigenic activity 610 $aCitrullus colocynthis 610 $aAspergillus flavus 610 $amodel system 610 $aHPLC-MS/MS 610 $afungal-bacterial interactions 610 $aBacillus amyloliquefaciens 610 $aFusarium graminearum 610 $aFengycin 610 $amycotoxins 610 $aAlternaria alternata 610 $amycotoxin 610 $aalternariol 610 $aessential oil 610 $acell integrity 610 $aoxidative stress 610 $aOchratoxin A 610 $abiological control 610 $aQatari microflora 610 $aBurkholderia cepacia 610 $athermostability 610 $aantagonistic agents 610 $ain vitro dual culture bioassay 610 $anutritional competition 610 $aaflatoxin 610 $aatoxigenic strain 610 $amaize 610 $aSerbia 610 $aphenyllactic acid 610 $abiocontrol agent 610 $aT-2 toxin 610 $aF. langsethiae 610 $aF. sporotrichioides 610 $aG. candidum 610 $amycotoxin. 610 $afullerol C60(OH)24 610 $ananoparticles 610 $afoodborne mycotoxigenic fungi 610 $asecondary metabolism 610 $aAspergillus spp. 610 $aFusarium spp. 610 $aAlternaria spp. 610 $aPenicillium spp. 615 7$aResearch & information: general 615 7$aBiology, life sciences 700 $aMATHIEU$b Florence$4edt$01327829 702 $aSNINI$b Selma P$4edt 702 $aMATHIEU$b Florence$4oth 702 $aSNINI$b Selma P$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557511603321 996 $aBiocontrol Agents and Natural Compounds against Mycotoxinogenic Fungi$93038153 997 $aUNINA
