Abstract: Alternaria spp. is the most important pathogen causing tomato diseases. Rotten tomatoes not only bring huge financial loss, but also accumulate mycotoxins in the lesion and surrounding tissues. Due to the restriction of processing technology, tomato products were also contaminated by mycotoxins, which could result in carcinogenesis, teratogenesis and mutagenesis, thereby causing a potential threat to human and animal health. This review summarized the contamination of Alternaria toxins on tomato and tomato-derived products in domestic and aboard, and the control of Alternaria and its mycotoxin, in order to provide the reference for reducing the safety risk on tomato and its products.

Key words: Alternaria, Alternaria toxins, contamination, control
