Resumo: Constant monitoring of mould contamination is essential in order to assure the food quality and safety and reduce the economic losses, as well as to minimize the potential hazards to human and animal health. The traditional methods for mould identification and detection (culture in several media, microscopic examination and chemical analysis) are usually time-consuming and require trained staff. Immunoassays, particularly enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) could be a promising alternative to the traditional methods due to high sensitivity, specificity, reproducibility and potential for use in rapid quality control. Among ELISAs, those based on exoantigens are the most employed in the resolution of taxonomic problems, detection and identification of toxigenic fungi. This review discusses the basic principles of immunoassays, methods of mould detection and the several ELISAs developed for toxigenic fungi detection in food.

Os métodos tradicionais de identificação e detecção de fungos (cultivo em diversos meios, exame microscópico e análises bioquímicas) geralmente consomem muito tempo e exigem pessoal com experiência. Os imunoensaios, particularmente os ensaios imunoenzimáticos, constituem uma alternativa promissora aos métodos tradicionais devido à alta sensibilidade, especificidade, reprodutibilidade e potencial como método rápido de controle de qualidade. Dentre os ensaios imunoenzimáticos, aqueles baseados em exoantígenos são os mais empregados na resolução de problemas taxonômicos, detecção e identificação de fungos toxigênicos. Nesta revisão serão abordados conceitos básicos de imunoensaios, métodos de detecção de fungos, assim como diversos ensaios imunoenzimáticos para a detecção de fungos toxigênicos em alimentos.UEL2006-07-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/semagrarias/article/view/253510.5433/1679-0359.2006v27n4p613Semina: Ciências Agrárias; Vol. 27 No. 4 (2006); 613-628Semina: Ciências Agrárias; v. 27 n. 4 (2006); 613-6281679-03591676-546Xreponame:Semina.
