„Chemically it consists of a chlorinated isocoumarin moiety linked through a carboxyl group to L-phenylalanine via an amide bond. The major food contaminated by ochratoxin A is cereals but much lower levels of contamination may be found in grape juice and red wine, coffee, cocoa, nuts, spices and dried fruits, and other agricultural products subjected to conditions that result in mould growth. Ochratoxin A is an accepted nephrotoxin and in animals is a carcinogen and is also teratogenic and immunotoxic. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has set a provisional tolerable weekly intake (PTWI) of 100 ng/kg body weight although the Canadian authorities have set a lower tolerable daily intake (TDI) of 1.5 to 5.7 ng/kg body weight and the European Commission a TDI of not more than 5 ng/kg body weight (56). “

„This means there is no need for to go back to the lab for costly tests where water samples might get contaminated in transit, they can also instantly shut down a plant or factory that is the cause of the pollution problem. This technique, called Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) might be a useful tool for trying to understand more about diseases like Alzheimers, Cystic Fibrosis and Creutzfield Jacob disease which are all thought to result from abnormalities of protein folding.“
