Removal of Alternaria mycotoxins exposed to different food components by cold plasma
Abstract
Alternariol (AOH) and alternariol monomethyl ether (AME), the two Alternaria mycotoxins with the highest outbreak rates in food systems, could be effectively reduced by cold plasma. This research evaluated the impact of food components on the plasma removal of AOH and AME. The results showed that 6% whey protein or ovalbumin almost completely inhibited the reduction of AOH or AME. Polyphenols inhibited the removal of AOH and AME by up to 90.8% and 83.4%, respectively. Organic acids and Vc reduced AME removal by up to 43.4% and 31.9%, respectively, but had little effect on AOH removal. Sugars and amino acids could decrease both toxin removal by less than 10%. Proteins exhibited the most inhibitory effect on plasma removal of AOH and AME, followed by polyphenols, while the effect of other components was relatively small. AOH and AME removal by cold plasma was highly related to H 2 O 2 produced during plasma discharge.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
