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
