Microwave processing as a method for grain decontamination from mycotoxins

In the studied feed samples, the general toxicity was determined according to GOST 31674- 2012 on 3 types of test objects (stylonychia, rabbits, white mice). The obtained results led to the conclusion that microwave treatment of grain (barley) reduces the overall toxicity of the feed, which is confirmed by an increase in the survival of Stylonychia mytilus, the absence of dermonecrotic action of toxins and their effect on the digestive system of warm-blooded animals. In addition, it was found that this electrophysical method contributes to the decontamination of grain and products of its processing from mycotoxins and can be used to improve the safety of plant feed.
