Background

Conventional strategies for mycotoxin reduction includes both prevention and decontamination strategies. Decontamination of aflatoxin has been a continuing challenge for the food industry. Novel processing methods are continuously explored to achieve complete aflatoxin degradation in food products.

Scope and approach

The present review provides an update on recent research for aflatoxin decontamination by conventional methods including thermal processing and chemical treatments. Novel aflatoxin decontamination technologies like microwave heating, gamma and electron beam irradiation, ultraviolet and pulsed light, electrolyzed water and cold plasma are reviewed in detail. This review provides a brief introduction, decontamination mechanism, degradation efficiency, advantages and limitations of these novel technologies.

Key findings and conclusion

Although conventional thermal technologies are known to cause aflatoxin degradation, they are not adequate for complete aflatoxin degradation in food products. Novel technologies like pulsed light, electrolyzed water and cold plasma have shown complete degradation of aflatoxin on different substrates. However, application on food products need further studies along with the degradant toxicology and its interaction with food components. Novel processing technologies shows significant potential for future applications in decontaminating aflatoxin in the food industry.
