Methods for prevention and decontamination<br />
of mycotoxins<br />
Fusarium-toxin Forum of 1 - 2 February 2010 6<br />
• Prevention of mycotoxin contamination<br />
• Pre- and post-harvest control and harvest management<br />
• Codex Alimentarius – codes of practice for the prevention and reduction<br />
of mycotoxins in cereals, peanuts, apple products, raw materials<br />
• The use of HACCP – to consider in the future<br />
• Although the prevention of mycotoxin contamination in the field is the<br />
main goal of agricultural and food industries, under certain environmental<br />
conditions the contamination of various commodities with mycotoxins is<br />
unavoidable<br />
• Detoxification of mycotoxins<br />
• Removal from contaminated commodities<br />
• Inactivation of mycotoxins by physical, chemical or biological methods<br />
• Neither the use of chemical decontamination processes, nor the mixing of<br />
batches with the aim of decreasing the level of contamination below the<br />
maximum tolerable level are legal within the EU<br />
Mycotoxins can not be entirely eliminated
Mycotoxin binders<br />
Fusarium-toxin Forum of 1 - 2 February 2010 7<br />
A mycotoxin binder (adsorbent/denaturant) added to the<br />
diet should be able to interact in vivo with mycotoxins<br />
and restrict their absorption in the GI tract of animals<br />
Several requirements for a mycotoxin binder<br />
• Effective inactivation of mycotoxins of interest<br />
• Reduction of mycotoxin bioavailability/activity<br />
• Availability of essential nutrients to an animal<br />
• Not being detrimental to animal or food product<br />
• Not being a growth promoter (growth promotion may mask<br />
mycotoxins)<br />
• Demonstrate verifiable positive results (improvement of zootechnical<br />
performance; recovery of organ status; excretion of mycotoxins via<br />
faeces; recovery of the immune status)<br />
• Technical and economical feasibility
Types of Mycotoxin Binders<br />
Fusarium-toxin Forum of 1 - 2 February 2010 8<br />
• Adsorbents<br />
• Inorganic<br />
• Activated charcoal<br />
• Aluminosilicates, clays<br />
HSCAS, bentonite, montmorillonite, zeolite, clinoptilolite…<br />
Clay minerals – layered silicates [Si 2 O 5<br />
2-<br />
] xy<br />
Zeolite – silicate made of tetrahedrons of SiO 4 and AlO 4<br />
• Chemically treated silicates<br />
• Organic<br />
• Chemical polymers (cholestyramine, polyvinylpyrrolidone,<br />
divinylbenzene-styrene polymers…) High costs<br />
• Glucan products<br />
Yeast and products from yeast (yeast cell wall)
Types of Mycotoxin Binders<br />
Fusarium-toxin Forum of 1 - 2 February 2010 9<br />
Denaturant<br />
• Mycotoxin-degrading enzymes<br />
• Life microorganisms producing mycotoxin-degrading enzymes<br />
• Eubacterium sp. (BBSH 797)<br />
• T. mycotoxinivorans<br />
• Organic binders<br />
• Efficient against a larger range of mycotoxins than inorganic binders<br />
• More adapted to the most frequent cases of multi-contaminated feeds<br />
• Biodegradable and do not accumulate in the environment after being<br />
excreted by animals

sizes and equal variance). Differences were assumed to be<br />
significant at p < 0.05.<br />
Critical t-values (p = 0.05) were compared with those obtained by the<br />
Student’s t-test according to the following formula:<br />

Conclusion<br />
Fusarium-toxin Forum of 1 - 2 February 2010 27<br />
The addition of the tested binders (at the level<br />
indicated by the manufacturer) did not result in<br />
lower analytical values for any mycotoxin<br />
currently regulated in feed.<br />
The combined effect of processing such as wet<br />
heating, pH-change, etc. in the presence of<br />
mycotoxin binders was not investigated, but<br />
might be a subject of interest for other studies.
