Welcome to the newsletter of MyToolBox!
The MyToolBox Project - "Safe Food and Feed through an Integrated ToolBox for Mycotoxin Management"- which receives funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, is a project which goes beyond the field-to-fork approach to reduce moulds and mycotoxins in the food and feed chains.

1st Mycokey-MyToolBox Conference on Mycotoxins, Ghent University, Belgium 11-14th September, 2017. The recent Workshop held at Ghent University provided an excellent opportunity to showcase the advances already being made by partners involved in MyToolBox. Prof. Rudi Krska presented a keynote talk highlighting the significant advances made in the different Work Packages so far even though the project has been running for only 18 months. Read more

Mycotixin testing:From Multi-toxin analysis to metabolomics
|
|
|
Metabolomics has emerged as the latest of the so-called –omics disciplines and shows great potential to determine hundreds to thousands of metabolites at once over a wide range of concentrations. In a preliminary study, the great potential of the presented approach is further underlined by the successful and automated detection of novel plant-derived biotransformation products of the most prevalent Fusarium mycotoxin deoxynivalenol.

Development of real-time post-harvest environmental monitoring systems for storage of cereals
Real time monitoring of CO2, RH and Temperature in pilot scale silos at Barilla are ongoing for the next few months to compare and evaluate both indoor & outdoor storage conditions and to simulate conditions after a real harvesting campaign. Read more

MyToolBox reveals Safe Use Options of contaminated batches to produce bioethanol.
FUMzyme® and ZENzyme® have been successfully applied in the bioethanol process in lab-scale: FB1 degradation up to 100% and ZEA degradation up to 89%. Our current studies focus on the industrial upscaling of this efficient process into a pilot plant. More information on detoxifying enzymes can be found here.
