Sažetak
During long-lasting ripening, the surface of dry traditional meat products (TMP) is usually owergrown by moulds. Among them, toxicogenic species produce mycotoxins as secondary metabolites, which have significant adverse effects on human and animal health. Aflatoxins and ochratoxins have proven carcinogenic and mutagenic effects in the body, and their occurrence in TMP is the most common consequence of overexpression of surface moulds. In addition to this direct route, mycotoxins in TMP may also be present indirectly through contaminated animal feed, whose use in farm animals results in carry-over effects in final meat products. Due to the frequency of contamination, development of confirmatory analytical methods for mycotoxin detection and the application of surface moulds identification methods is important. To prevent TMP contamination and possible adverse effects on consumer health, all preventive actions should be taken and systematic control of these contaminants should be undertaken. This paper gives an overview of the properties of aflatoxins and ochratoxins as mycotoxins of the greatest importance for the occurrence of meat products, the moulds which produce tham and the methods of detection, prevention and reduction of TMP contamination.
