Ochratoxin A
Ochratoxin A is found in barley. Mycotoxin. Ochratoxin A is produced by Aspergillus melleus, Aspergillus sulphureus and Penicillium viridicatum.Potential contaminant of foodstuffs, especially cereals. Ochratoxin A is found in stored grain products in UK (1997).Ochratoxin A, a toxin produced by Aspergillus ochraceus and Penicillium verrucosum, is one of the most abundant food-contaminating mycotoxins in the world. Human exposure occurs mainly through consumption of improperly stored food products, particularly contaminated grain and pork products, as well as coffee, wine grapes and dried grapes. The toxin has been found in the tissues and organs of animals, including human blood and breast milk. Ochratoxin A toxicity has large species- and sex-specific differences Mycotoxin.

Mellein
Mellein, also known as (R)-mellein, is a member of the class of compounds known as 2-benzopyrans. 2-benzopyrans are organic aromatic compounds that 1-benzopyran, a bicyclic compound made up of a benzene ring fused to a pyran, so that the oxygen atom is at the 2-position. Mellein is slightly soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Mellein can be found in cocoa powder, which makes mellein a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. Mellein is a dihydroisocoumarin, a phenolic compound produced by Aspergillus ochraceus .
Aspyrone
A member of the class of 2-pyranones that is 5,6-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-one in which the hydrogens at positions 3, 5S and 6R are replaced by (2S,3S)-3-methyloxiran-2-yl, hydroxy and methyl groups, respectively. It is a fungal metabolite isolated from Aspergillus melleus and exhibits nematicidal, antibacterial and antifungal properties.
Ochratoxin A
A phenylalanine derivative resulting from the formal condensation of the amino group of L-phenylalanine with the carboxy group of (3R)-5-chloro-8-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-oxo-3,4-dihydro-1H-2-benzopyran-7-carboxylic acid (ochratoxin alpha). It is among the most widely occurring food-contaminating mycotoxins, produced by Aspergillus ochraceus, Aspergillus carbonarius and Penicillium verrucosum.
