The Kernel Zearalenone ELISA Test Kit is a competitive enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative analysis of zearalenone in cereals, dried meat, fish, feed, milk and seed.
Zearalenone (also know as ZEA or ZON) is a toxin produced by fungi of the genus Fusarium. It is found worldwide in a number of cereal crops such as maize, barley, oats, wheat, rice and sorghum. Zearalenone is a phytohormone which displays, apart from its anabolic properties, mainly estrogenic effects. Because of its estrogenic properties, zearalenone may induce fertility disorders in animals.
