Mycotoxin contamination in agro-food systems has been a serious concern over the last few decades around the world, and very much as well in China. The change of climate and farming methods are favourable for prevalence of toxigenic fungi and consequently cause the increase of mycotoxins in food and feed. Against this background, this special issue ‘Mycotoxins in China’, consisting of five review and 12 original research articles, is dedicated to the most recent advances in both fundamental and applied mycotoxin research. Most of the authors are senior experts with multidisciplinary background. They provide a comprehensive discussion on state-of-the-art studies on mycotoxins in China, covering microbiology, toxicology, chemistry and statistics. We hope that the papers collected here will provide deep insight and inspiration to the readers to further improve strategies, technologies and methods dealing with the analysis, degradation and prevention of mycotoxin, not only in China, but around the world.
