Introduction With the growth in bulk and container sea freight in the second half of last century, the modern food and feed distribution system became a global entity. This had significant positive implications on consumer choice and availability, but also had negative consequences for food borne toxins which manifested themselves during the extended phase of transportation and storage as well as growth and harvest. The Codex Alimentarius Commission (CODEX)...

Keywords : aflatoxin B 1 , ochratoxin A, E568, E567, zeolites organomodification MYCOTOXINS are secondary toxic metabolites of saprophytic moulds and they enter organisms of humans and animals through food and feed. The first data about detrimental effects of mouldy food in China dates back to 3000 years B.C. Yellow rice toxin disease was recorded in Japan at the end of the XIX century, when people consumed...

The effectiveness of an anti-mycotoxin additive cannot be based only on in vitro trials anymore; it has to be evaluated by conducting in vivo tests using a scientific experimental design measuring the beneficial effects of the product on target organ protection and animal performance. Practical methods to detoxify grain or feed contaminated with mycotoxins on a large scale and in a cost-effective manner are not currently available. At present, one of the...

Distillers Dried Grain and Solubles (DDGS) is a by-product from the ethanol fermentation process that is sold to livestock producers as feed. Contamination of the wheat or corn feedstock by the Fusarium mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) limits the use of DDGS for this purpose. Ionizing radiation such as that produced by electron accelerators can destroy the Fusarium organism and has the potential to eliminate DON. The objective of this work was to investigate the effect of electron beam...

1. Introduction Fusarium head blight (FHB), regarded as one of the most important diseases of wheat, is caused by a number of Fusarium species. F. graminearum Schw. [teleomorph: Gibberella zeae Schw. (Petch.)] predominates in most parts of the world [1] while F. culmorum Sacc. and other Fusarium spp. are of rather regional and local importance [2,3]. The toxin contamination produced by the pathogens has made this disease...

This study investigates elimination of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and fumonisin B1 (FB1) by treatment with recombinant enzyme preparations. Biological degradation of AFB1: Recombinant 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl 1,2-dioxygenase (2,3-DHBD) and dihydrodiol dehydrogenase (DHD) enzymes were produced through extracellular expression of respectively the bphC1 and bphB genes of R. erythropolis in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). The recombinant 2,3-DHBD enzyme exhibited an enzyme...

Poultry, swine and dairy producers admit today that the presence of mycotoxins in the feed is one of the main factors affecting animal production. As a result of the higher prices of feed ingredients, their quality is getting worse, with some grains showing higher levels of mycotoxins. High contamination levels can also be found in distillers grains, an ingredient in increasing supply, originated from the use of corn in ethanol production in the US. Some producers consider that...

Introduction
Previous research has shown that dietary ZEA may reduce nutrient digestibility and increase oxidative stress in pigs; and that the use of Calibrin-Z (CAZ), thermally processed clay, can prevent the negative effects of ZEA. However, it is unknown what CAZ will do if pigs are already intoxicated with ZEA. Therefore, the objective of the present study was designed to answer: 1) can ZEA and CAZ effects be...

Mycotoxins are highly toxic secondary products of the metabolism of some fungi mainly belonging to Aspergillus, Penicillium and Fusarium species. A toxic syndrome caused by mycotoxin ingestion in man and animals is referred to as a mycotoxicosis. It has been estimated that at least 300 fungal metabolites are potentially toxic for man and animals, and that as much as 25% of the world’s cereals are contaminated with known mycotoxins (Devegowda et al., 1998). Moreover, it can be...
