Main scientific results of the 12th period (01.07.-30.09.2020): 
Research activities for the achievement of resultative outcomes of the work package (WP) 3 were completed:

• A publication paper entitled “Determination of fungi and multi-class mycotoxins in Camelia sinensis and herbal teas and dietary exposure assessment” was published in Open Access journal “Toxins” indexed in Scopus (link, Cite score in 2019: 5.1). This result fulfils the planned scientific result – know-how, as it ensures the dissemination of knowledge about the safety of traditional and herbal teas available for Latvian consumers (deliverable 3.2 “description of know-how” of WP 3).
• A scientific publication “Determination of 27 mycotoxins in grain cereals and legumes by nano flow liquid chromatography in combination with Orbitrap-high resolution mass spectrometry” was submitted for the consideration of publication in an internationally cited journal indexed in Scopus databases (deliverable 3.4 “submitted or published scientific paper” of WP 3).
• Latvian patent No. LV15490A “Method for the detection of mycotoxins in fermented alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage made from grain or berries” was received (in Latvian: “Mikotoksīnu noteikšanas paņēmiens raudzētā graudu vai ogu alkoholiskā vai bezalkoholiskā dzērienā”).
• The final reports of the project outcomes have been attached to post-doctoral researchers’ profiles in Mendeley (accessible only for Elsevier users) and ResearchGate digital platforms.
• The final stage report of the project implementation results is in the progress.
