55 - Fate of Regulated and Emerging Mycotoxins during different large-scale maize dry-milling processes
V. Scarpino - F. Vanara - M. Sulyok - M. Blandino

 

Mycotoxin control is a key point for maize food chain and milling industry. This research, based on three maize lots obtained in different growing seasons, reports two innovative elements in comparison to previous studies on mycotoxin distribution in milling products and by-products: the quantification of both regulated and emerging mycotoxins, and the comparison between dry and tempering degermination systems. Grain cleaning reduced all the detected mycotoxins by 1.5-3 times. The milling fractions for human consumption were always decontaminated respect the whole grain, with a higher reduction in tempering degermination compared to dry one. Considering all the mycotoxins and both degermination systems, an inverse relationship with particle size was observed. A careful management of milling was able to decontaminate also emerging mycotoxins, with the same percentage of reduction of regulated mycotoxins.
