Enzymes for the biodetoxification of DON

The safe and efficient removal of the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol is a pressing issue in terms of ensuring food safety. Enzymes, isolated from microorganisms with DON detoxification activity, offer promising alternatives to alleviate this problem. However, some key challenges must be addressed before employing these enzymes for industrial applications. Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a toxic secondary metabolite produced by filamentous fungi of the genus Fusarium. DON contamination continues to plague a
