Patulin

Patulin is a mycotoxin produced by a variety of molds, particularly Aspergillus and Penicillium. It is commonly found in rotting apples. It is not a particularly potent toxin, but a number of studies have shown that it is genotoxic. Patulin is also an antibiotic. Several countries have instituted patulin restrictions in apple products. The World Health Organization recommends a maximum concentration of 50 ug/L in apple juice. Patulin has been shown to exhibit apoptotic and antibiotic functions. Patulin belongs to the family of Pyrans.
