| dc.description.abstract | Fumonisin esterase FumD (EC 3.1.1.87), FUMzyme® (BIOMIN, Austria), effectively detoxifies fumonisin B mycotoxins (FB) by hydrolysis and removal of the tricarballylic acid groups. The current study evaluated FumD detoxification of total FB (FBT) in commercial maize utilising an experimental dry milling plant by introducing the enzyme during the kernel conditioning stage. Total FB and the hydrolysed product of FB1, HFB1, in maize and milling products were determined by LC-MS/MS. During maize conditioning of 4 h 10 min substantial FB1 hydrolysis was achieved between 1 and 4 U FumD/100 g maize. Complete conversion into HFB1 was delayed and only achieved at the highest enzyme concentration (32 U/100 g maize) reaching a 1:1 M conversion ratio. Dry milling of maize containing 3.29 ± 0.20 μmole FBT/kg (2354 ± 140 μg/kg) in the absence of FumD, resulted in a 2.5-fold increase in the FBT concentration in total hominy feed (8.34 ± 0.22 μmol/kg) (5979 ± 158 μg/kg) compared to the levels that prevail in Super (0.52 ± 0.07 μmol/kg) (347 ± 48 μg/kg) and Special (1.70 ± 0.01 μmol/kg) (1213 ± 8 μg/kg) maize meal, and Semolina (1.07 ± 0.14 μmol/kg) (765 ± 100 μg/kg) milling products. Introduction of FumD (40 U/kg) mainly impacted the total hominy feed product (germ + hominy milling fractions), constituting up to 30% of the reconstituted whole maize. | en_US |
