The Potential of Peroxidases Extracted from the Spent Mushroom (Flammulina velutipes) Substrate Significantly Degrade Mycotoxin Deoxynivalenol
This research shows how enzymes extracted from leftover mushroom growing materials can break down dangerous mold toxins in animal feed. This discovery has several important real-world implications: • Provides a natural and cost-effective way to make contaminated animal feed safe again • Helps reduce agricultural waste by finding valuable uses for spent mushroom materials • Could lead to safer food supply by preventing toxic compounds from entering the food chain • Offers potential economic benefits to farmers and feed manufacturers • Demonstrates an environmentally friendly approach to dealing with feed contamination
