摘要

Mycotoxins are ubiquitous in cereals and cereal products worldwide, presenting substantial health hazards to both humans and animals. Enzymatic degradation has recently gained prominence as a highly effective, selective, and environmentally friendly approach to neutralizing mycotoxins, converting them into non-toxic or less toxic compounds. Herein, we provide a comprehensive overview of the enzymatic properties and degradation pathways of mycotoxin-degrading enzymes that target major mycotoxins, including aflatoxins (AFs), ochratoxins (OTs), deoxynivalenol (DON), zearalenone (ZEN), and fumonisins (FUMs). The identification of multiple mycotoxin-degrading enzymes, such as peroxidases, laccases, esterases, and oxidoreductases, has paved the way for transforming mycotoxins into less or non-toxic products through diverse pathways, offering a promising avenue for complete detoxification.
