Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focused on the study of the effect of major mycotoxins on the quality attributes of crops, the possible methods of preventing mycotoxin infection, and various methods that could be applied to degrade the mycotoxins. Mycotoxins are responsible for financial loss to the agricultural industry, product quality losses, and harmful effects on human and livestock health. Therefore, it is of great importance to develop and optimize methods for mycotoxin prevention, or its degradation on the crops. Currently, there is no adequate method in the industry for mycotoxin degradation on the crops. There are different methods for mycotoxin degradation such as thermal treatment, chemical treatment, biological/enzymatic, irradiation treatments, light treatment, ultrasound treatment, ozone, and atmospheric cold plasma treatment. Each of these methods has limitations and there is a gap in knowing the degradation mechanism of some of these methods which needs further study. Therefore, this Special Issue highlights the studies focusing on the impact of mycotoxins on the crops and various methods for its prevention or degradation. It is exciting to build this Special Issue with your participation and compile the works in this area to show our progress in overcoming mycotoxin contamination.
