Abstract: Mycotoxins are an important detrimental factor for fruit quality. The presence of some mycotoxins in fruits such as patulin, Alternaria toxins, ochratoxin A and aflatoxins is an issue of major concern nowadays. Current studies are focused on the formation, transformation, control and elimination of mycotoxins to ensure the safety and quality of fruits. The aim of this review is to survey mycotoxins contamination, producers, toxicity and toxicology, encoding genes, biosynthetic mechanisms and influencing factors.

Key words: fruits, mycotoxin, contamination, toxicity, biosynthesis, influencing factors
