Description

Patulin CAS NO 149-29-1 is a polyketide lactone mycotoxin produced by certain species of *Penicillium*, *Aspergillus*, and *Byssochlamys* molds. It is of critical importance as a target analyte in food safety and environmental monitoring due to its potent toxicity and potential presence in contaminated fruits, grains, and juices. This compound is essential for analytical laboratories, quality control departments, and research institutions focused on mycotoxin detection, toxicology studies, and the development of mitigation strategies.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified reference material (CRM) for the accurate quantification of patulin in food and feed samples via HPLC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS.
• Food Safety Testing: Calibration and validation of testing kits and laboratory methods to ensure compliance with strict international regulatory limits (e.g., EU, FDA) in apple juice, fruit products, and cereals.
• Toxicological Research: Used in biomedical and agricultural research to study the mechanisms of patulin toxicity, cellular effects, and potential health risks.
• Method Development & Validation: Serves as a critical component in the development, optimization, and proficiency testing of new analytical methods for mycotoxin detection.
• Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC): Employed in internal and third-party laboratory QA/QC programs to ensure the accuracy and reliability of patulin analysis.
