Adsorption of Zearalenone by Aureobasidium pullulans Autolyzed Biomass Preparation and its Detoxification Properties in Cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Yeast
This research explores a new method to protect against harmful food toxins using a natural yeast-based material. Scientists found that processed biomass from the yeast-like fungus Aureobasidium pullulans can effectively bind and neutralize zearalenone, a dangerous toxin that commonly contaminates cereals and animal feed. This discovery could lead to safer food and feed products. Impacts on everyday life: • Safer food products through natural toxin removal • Improved animal feed safety leading to healthier livestock • Potential reduction in food waste due to toxin contamination • More sustainable approach to food safety using natural materials • Economic benefits for farmers and food producers through reduced crop losses
