Chapter 5. Transformation of Mycotoxins upon Food Processing: Masking, Binding and Degradation Phenomena

What is it about?

Sorting, cleaning, milling and thermal processes can potentially alter the concentration of mycotoxins because of mechanical or thermal energies that in fact determine transformation and/or degradation.

Why is it important?

Data about the impact of food processing on masked mycotoxins are limited. This chapter will focus on the potential transformation of (masked) mycotoxins during food processing, as well as on possible amendment strategies by food processing.
