Anti-Mycotoxin Strategies for Food and Feed

Anti-Mycotoxin Strategies for Food and Feed is a comprehensive resource that provides up-to-date information on mycotoxigenic fungi and toxins, along with methods to control them in food and feed. The book focuses on strategies to control the health risk of mycotoxins during post and pre-harvest stages, as well as in foods, food-based products, and feeds. It offers a combined approach of advanced techniques used against mycotoxigenic fungi, with special attention paid to diseases caused by these fungi and their destructive effect on preharvest, post-harvest, or storage. The text discusses advanced anti-fumonisin strategies, innovative strategies to decontaminate Ochratoxin A and Zearalenone, the effects of toxic citrinin, patulin, and Ergot alkaloids, and detoxification and decontamination strategies of Deoxynivalenol, Trichothecenes, T-2/HT-2 toxin, and nivalenol. It is an essential resource for mycologists, mycotoxicologists, microbiologists, food technology professionals, scientists, students, researchers, and farmers/agriculturists.

Anti-Mycotoxin Strategies for Food and Feed:

Up-to-date information on mycotoxigenic fungi and toxins, with methods to control them in food and feed.

Anti-Mycotoxin Strategies for Food and Feed focuses on strategies to control the health risk of mycotoxins associated with cereals, pulses, and vegetables during post and pre-harvest stages, in addition to foods, food-based products, and feeds. Each chapter is carefully designed to offer information elucidating various strategies, which include physical, chemical, and biological methods. The book provides a combined approach of advanced techniques used against mycotoxigenic fungi, which is helpful in studying the strategies for different mycotoxins.

Special attention has been paid to diseases caused by mycotoxigenic fungi and their destructive effect on either preharvest, post-harvest, or storage, and their respective toxins, which pose a long-term health risk to humans and animals, if contaminated food or feed enter our food chain.

The primary focus of the text is on the recent and advanced approaches and strategies, including control, detoxification, degradation, and binding methods, with graphical representations of protocols with supporting tables and figures.

Anti-Mycotoxin Strategies discusses specific sample topics such as:

Advanced anti-fumonisin strategies and strategies for the control of aflatoxigenic Aspergillus species in contaminated food and feed.

Innovative strategies to decontaminate Ochratoxin A and Zearalenone.

Effects of toxic citrinin, patulin, and Ergot alkaloids in animals, birds, and humans, and effective mitigation strategies as its control measures.

Detoxification and Decontamination strategies of Deoxynivalenol, an emetic toxin, Trichothecenes, T-2/HT-2 toxin, and nivalenol associated in food.
