ICFC 2017 - International Conference on Food Contaminants (Book of Abstracts); A novel alternative for mycotoxins decontamination is the use of microorganisms that bind mycotoxins and reduce their gastrointestinal absorption. Lactic acid bacteria and yeasts were isolated from a Kefir culture and evaluated for their mycotoxin adsorption and biotransformation ability. Strains with high binding ability were identi...
A strategy to reduce the deleterious effects of mycotoxins is to use dietary supplements that contain microorganisms that bind mycotoxins and diminish their gastrointestinal absorption. Novel strains were isolated from a Kefir culture and assessed for their mycotoxin adsorption and biotransformation ability. The most active strains were identified using DNA sequencing, and the stability of microorganism/mycotox...
