Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Faculdade de Zootecnia e Engenharia de Alimentos (FZEA) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Graduated in Veterinary Medicine at the University of São Paulo (1983), with Master's (1991) and PhD (1994) in Public Health at the University of São Paulo. He was the Head of the Department of Food Engineering of School of Animal Science and Food Engineering (FZEA/USP). Full Professor at FZEA/USP since 2009. Currently, he is the Vice-Dean of FZEA-USP for the term between August/2021 and August/2025. He is Co-Editor-in-Chief of the journal Food Science & Technology, also participating as Editorial Board member of several international journals. He conducted a sabbatical period in the Norwegian Veterinary Institute, in Oslo Norway, during 2016-2017. He has experience in Food Science and Technology, Toxicity and Residues of Mycotoxins in Food Products, Food Microbiology, Inspection of Animal-Derived Food Products, Chromatographic Analysis and Dairy Tecnology, acting mainly on the following subjects: aflatoxins, fumonisins, residues, biomarkers, decontamination, lactic acid bacteria, pathogenic bacteria, microbial biofilms, milk and quality.

The Faculty of Animal Science and Food Engineering FZEA/USP has been experiencing very strong growth in recent years, from a total of 80 students in 1993 when it was founded, to the current 1,526 students (undergraduate and graduate), with all classes of undergraduate courses fully implemented. This growth, although very beneficial for research, as it allows a significant increase in crit…
Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by fungi that occur naturally in foodstuffs, which can cause a large variety of toxic effects on vertebrates, including humans. The fact that some mycotoxins are carcinogenic (e.g., aflatoxins) and could be detected in breast milk, food and feedstuffs constitutes a serious human and animal health threat, mainly to children and young animals du…

Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by fungi that occur naturally in foodstuffs, which can cause a large variety of toxic effects on vertebrates, including humans. The fact that some mycotoxins are carcinogenic (e.g., aflatoxins) constitutes a serious human and animal health threat, mainly to children and young animals due to their high physiological vulnerability. Previous stud…
Cereal-based foods are included in children's diets before the first year of life, starting the transition to solid foods with high acceptance. Their composition may vary, including wheat, corn, barley, rice and oats, and despite meticulous quality control processes, infant cereals can be contaminated with potentially toxic compounds such as aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and deoxynivalenol (DON). T…

Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by fungi that occur naturally in foodstuffs, which can cause a large variety of toxic effects on vertebrates, including humans. The fact that some mycotoxins are carcinogenic and could be transferred to fetus during pregnacy constitutes a serious human and animal health threat, mainly in this period of high physiological vulnerability. The ob…

Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by fungi that occur naturally in foodstuffs, which can cause a large variety of toxic effects, especially in children due to their high physiological vulnerability. The objective of this project isto determine the co-occurrence of mycotoxins in infant formula, fruit- and cereal-based foods traded in Pirassununga and Ribeirão Preto/SP. Samples …

This research project aims to assess the combined toxicity of mycotoxins and heavy metals potentially present in infant foods, such as formulas, cereals, and fruit purees. Focusing on in vitro models, the study will employ cell cultures representing various organs, including kidney, intestine, blood, and liver, to evaluate the impact of co-exposure on human health. Methodologies will be o…
Fumonisins are toxic compounds produced by fungi that greatly impact human and animal health. Biological decontamination methods have been testing the microorganism's ability to adsorb mycotoxins and reduce their toxicity. However, the literature data regarding fumonisin removal is scarce compared to aflatoxin. This research project aims to assess the in vitro removal of fumonisin B1 (FB1…
Enniatins are cyclic hexadepsipeptides produced mainly by Fusarium species, which are predominantly found in cereal grains and their products. The most common enniatins occurring in grain are enniatin B, B1, A and A1. Because of their frequent occurrence in feed and food grains, enniatins are considered as of potential concern for animal and human health. Previous studies have demonstrate…
Aflatoxins (AF) are carcinogenic compounds produced by fungi of the genus Aspergillus, which contaminate food before and after processing, resulting in risks to human health and economic losses in animal production. Exposure to aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), metabolite with greater toxicity produced by the fungus and frequently observed in Brazil, occurs predominantly through ingestion of contamina…
