Investigators at Cape Peninsula University of Technology Describe Findings in Food Science (Enzymatic Detoxification of the Fumon-isin Mycotoxins During Dry Milling of Maize)

摘要

2021 MAY 05 (NewsRx) - By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Disease Prevention Daily - Current study results on Science - Food Science have been published. According to news reporting out of Bellville, South Africa, by NewsRx editors, research stated, "Fumonisin esterase FumD (EC 3.1.1.87), FUMzymeg ? (BIOMIN, Austria), effectively detoxifies fumonisin B mycotoxins (FB) by hydrolysis and removal of the tricarballylic acid groups. The current study evaluated FumD detoxification of total FB (FBT) in commercial maize utilising an experimental dry milling plant by introducing the enzyme during the kernel conditioning stage." Financial support for this research came from South African Maize Trust.
