Ammonia to denature mycotoxins (ozone as well?)

Ammonia, in the form of ammonium hydroxide or gaseous ammonia has been

used to denature mycotoxins under alkaline condition. Gaseous or aqueous ozone

has been

passed through grains to cause oxidative deactivation of mycotoxins (Prudente

and King,

2002). While ozone works on a wide variety of mycotoxins, it is expensive to

produce,

cannot be stored, and is a hazardous material requiring extensive safety

precautions.
