Simultaneous degradation of aflatoxin B1, zearalenone, and deoxynivalenol by Trametes versicolor laccases (opens in new tab)

BackgroundMulti-mycotoxin co-contamination in staple grains poses a major challenge to food quality and safety, underscoring the urgent need for detoxification approaches capable of simultaneously degrading multiple mycotoxins. This study investigates the potential of Trametes versicolor laccase as a biocatalyst for the simultaneous degradation of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), zearalenone (ZEN), and deoxynivalenol (DON).MethodsSingle-factor experiments and response surface methodology were used to opt...
