The contamination of food commodities in various conditions along the production chain is the point of concern, especially among recent years. While different conventional methods for microbial and mycotoxin decontamination of cereal and cereal-based products were introduced, approaching of newly introduced techniques such as Electron Beam Irradiation (EBI) attracted notable attention. EBI is classified as a non-thermal method for decontamination with several advantages over conventional thermal treatments, including environmental friendly, time effective, and lower detrimental effects on the nutritional value of food products. By contrast, the high needed investment for providing accelerators and low penetration power of the electron beam are among the limitations for the use of EBI in food industries. Importantly, the effectiveness of this method increased when applied in combination with other traditional approaches. In this paper, a review of available data regarding the application of EBI in reducing of the mycotoxin and microbial contaminations of cereal-based products is presented, indicating potential applications of this technique to significantly reduce the microbial load and main mycotoxins, especially when combined with fermentation methods. This promising technology can be considered as one of available alternatives in microbial and mycotoxin decontamination of cereal and cereal-based products.

整个生产链中各种条件下食品的污染是一个令人关注的问题，尤其是近年来。虽然介绍了对谷物和谷物类产品进行微生物和霉菌毒素净化的不同常规方法，但采用新引入的技术（例如电子束辐照（EBI））引起了人们的极大关注。EBI被归类为非热消毒方法，与常规热处理相比具有多个优点，包括环保，省时，对食品营养价值的不利影响。相比之下，提供加速器所需的大量投资和电子束的低穿透力是在食品工业中使用EBI的局限性。重要的，与其他传统方法结合使用时，该方法的有效性提高了。本文对EBI在减少谷物类产品中的真菌毒素和微生物污染方面的可用数据进行了综述，表明该技术在显着降低微生物负荷和主要真菌毒素方面的潜在应用，特别是与发酵方法。这种有前途的技术可以被视为谷物和谷物类产品的微生物和霉菌毒素净化的可用替代品之一。表明该技术在显着降低微生物负荷和主要真菌毒素方面的潜在应用，特别是与发酵方法结合使用时。这种有前途的技术可以被视为谷物和谷物类产品的微生物和霉菌毒素净化的可用替代品之一。表明该技术在显着降低微生物负荷和主要真菌毒素方面的潜在应用，特别是与发酵方法结合使用时。这种有前途的技术可以被视为谷物和谷物类产品的微生物和霉菌毒素净化的可用替代品之一。
