In Vitro Efficacy Assessment of Mycotoxin-Detoxifying Agents Against Emerging Mycotoxins Donato Greco, Vito D’Ascanio, Mariagrazia Abbasciano, Annalisa Treglia, Giuseppina Avantaggiato Agriculture Switzerland, 2026 The widespread occurrence of emerging mycotoxins (EMs) produced by Fusarium, Aspergillus, and Penicillium species has raised increasing concerns regarding food and feed safety. Mitigation strategies currently applied to control regulated mycotoxins in feed may also be effective in reducing contamination by EMs. This study comparatively evaluated the in vitro adsorption efficacy of two leonardites, eight natural smectites, and two modified clays (organoclays) against EMs produced by Fusarium, Aspergillus, and Penicillium spp. All materials were tested at two inclusion levels (0.1 and 0.5% w/v) under two pH conditions (pH 3 and 7), simulating the gastrointestinal environment of monogastric animals. Adsorption performance was strongly influenced by mycotoxin chemistry, adsorbent type, inclusion rate, and medium pH. Organoclays exhibited the highest and most consistent efficacy, achieving near-complete adsorption of beauvericin (BEA) and enniatins (ENNs) (>98–100%) at 0.1% (w/v), as well as high removal of mycophenolic acid (MYC. A.) and citrinin (CIT) (>90%) across both pH conditions. Natural smectites showed high but more selective adsorption, removing >90% of BEA and ENNs at low inclusion rates, while displaying limited efficacy toward fusaric acid (FA) and patulin (PAT). Leonardites demonstrated intermediate and material-dependent performance; leonardite L1 adsorbed approximately 90% of BEA at 0.1% (w/v), whereas ENN adsorption ranged from ~36% to 80% at the same inclusion rate and exceeded 90% only at higher dosages. None of the tested materials effectively adsorbed patulin (PAT) at pH 7; however, at pH 3, four smectites exhibited partial adsorption, and one trioctahedral smectite achieved more than 90% PAT adsorption under acidic conditions. Overall, organoclays displayed the broadest adsorption spectrum across structurally diverse mycotoxins, while smectites exhibited high selectivity driven by surface charge density and interlayer interactions. Leonardite-based materials showed moderate but highly variable adsorption performance, likely influenced by heterogeneity in humic functional groups and physicochemical properties. These findings highlight the need for tailored adsorbent selection or combined mitigation strategies to achieve effective mycotoxin control in the animal feed industry.
Short-Term Dietary Exposure to Ochratoxin A, Zearalenone or Fumonisins in Broiler Chickens: Effects on Cytochrome P450 Enzymes, Drug Transporters and Antioxidant Defence Systems Neenu Amminikutty, Matteo Cuccato, Watanya Jarriyawattanachaikul, Marta Gariglio, Donato Greco, Vito D’Ascanio, Giuseppina Avantaggiato, Achille Schiavone, Carlo Nebbia, Flavia Girolami Foods, 2025 Ochratoxin A (OTA), Zearalenone (ZEA), and Fumonisins (FB) are common contaminants of poultry feed associated with oxidative damage and potentially dangerous residues in products from exposed animals. We investigated the molecular effects in broilers of a short-term (10 days) dietary exposure to OTA (0.26 mg/kg), ZEA (2.9 mg/kg), or FB (60 mg/kg) on cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP), drug transporters (DT) and the antioxidant defence system. OTA markedly decreased serum antioxidant capacity, while all mycotoxins depressed reduced glutathione content and increased lipid peroxidation in the liver, indicating a hepatic pro-oxidant effect. All the tested mycotoxins also reduced both the activities and the gene expression of selected antioxidant enzymes in the liver and duodenum as a result of the modulation of the Nrf2/Keap1 pathway. Moreover, mycotoxins differentially altered the hepatic and intestinal gene expression of CYP enzymes (i.e., CYP2A6, CYP2C45, CYP3A4, and CYP1A isoforms). Finally, the transcription of selected DT (i.e., ABCB1, ABCC2 and ABCG2) was generally enhanced in both the liver and duodenum. In conclusion, short-term exposure to OTA, ZEA, or FB at dietary concentrations higher than those recommended in the EU, but occurring in third countries, not only disrupt the antioxidant defence but also affect the expression of CYP and DT, which might potentially alter the kinetics of drugs and toxicants. Our results provide new insights into mycotoxin adverse effects in the light to assess the effectiveness of new mitigation strategies that contribute to food and feed safety.
Unlocking the Potential of Bacillus subtilis: A Comprehensive Study on Mycotoxin Decontamination, Mechanistic Insights, and Efficacy Assessment in a Liquid Food Model Donato Greco, Vito D’Ascanio, Elisa Santovito, Mariagrazia Abbasciano, Laura Quintieri, Clarisse Techer, Giuseppina Avantaggiato Foods, 2025 Mycotoxin detoxification by microorganisms offers a specific, economical, and environmentally sustainable alternative to physical/chemical methods. Three strains of B. subtilis, isolated from poultry farm environments and recognized by EFSA as safe in animal nutrition for all animal species, consumers, and the environment, were screened for their ability to remove mycotoxins. All of them demonstrated mycotoxin-dependent removal efficacy, being very effective against ZEA and its analogues (α- and β-ZOL, α- and β-ZAL, and ZAL) achieving up to 100% removal within 24 h under aerobic, anaerobic, and restrictive growth conditions with toxins as the sole carbon source. ZEA removal remained effective across a wide range of pH values (5–8), temperatures (20–40 °C), and at high toxin concentrations (up to 10 µg/mL). Additionally, up to 87% ZEA removal was achieved after 48 h of incubation (30 °C) of the strains in a contaminated liquid food model containing 1 µg/mL of the toxin. Mechanistic studies suggest that ZEA detoxification involves metabolic processes rather than physical adsorption or entrapment into bacterial cells. Enzymatic activities within the bacterial cells or associated with their cell walls likely play a role in the metabolization of the toxin. Interestingly, it has been observed that growth conditions and culture media can influence the metabolization and/or conjugation of the toxin, which can result in the production of various metabolites. Further investigation is needed to identify these metabolites and assess their safety.
Innovative Mycotoxin Detoxifying Agents Decrease the Absorption Rate of Aflatoxin B1 and Counteract the Oxidative Stress in Broiler Chickens Exposed to Low Dietary Levels of the Mycotoxin Matteo Cuccato, Neenu Amminikutty, Veronica Spalenza, Vanessa Conte, Stefano Bagatella, Donato Greco, Vito D’Ascanio, Francesco Gai, Achille Schiavone, Giuseppina Avantaggiato, Carlo Nebbia, Flavia Girolami Toxins, 2025 Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) can impair the growth of chickens and reduce the quality of eggs and meat, resulting in significant economic losses. The inclusion of mycotoxin detoxifying agents (MyDA) with binding properties in the diet is an efficient tool to reduce their absorption rate in the gastrointestinal tract. Our aim was to investigate the ability of two innovative MyDA (SeOX, a feed additive featuring a tri-octahedral smectite mixed with lignocellulose, and CHS, a di-octahedral smectite functionalized with an organic non-toxic modifier) in both reducing the bio-accessibility and mitigating the adverse effects of AFB1 in broilers exposed for 10 days to concentrations approaching the European Union maximum limits in feed (0.02 mg/kg). The amount of AFB1 in the excreta of birds, collected over four consecutive days (starting on day 7), was significantly lower (p < 0.001) in the group exposed to AFB1 alone compared to the groups treated with either SeOX or CHS. The calculated bio-accessibility was decreased by nearly 30% with both MyDA. This positive effect was reflected by a significant reduction (p < 0.001) in the oxidative stress (measured as serum antioxidant capacity and hepatic lipid peroxidation) induced by AFB1. Although antioxidant enzyme activities and glutathione levels were unaffected by any treatment, AFB1 significantly induced (p < 0.001) the upregulation of CYP2A6 and the downregulation of Nrf2; the latter was reverted by each MyDA. Overall, these results demonstrate that the selected MyDA are effective in limiting the AFB1 absorption rate, thereby mitigating or even reverting the oxidative stress induced by AFB1 in broilers.
Optimization and in-house validation of the analytical procedure for official control of bentonites as aflatoxin inactivators Vito D'Ascanio, Donato Greco, Mariagrazia Abbasciano, Giuseppina Avantaggiato Food Chemistry, 2024 In Europe, bentonites are allowed as feed additives for aflatoxin mitigation (1 m558) provided they have specific mineralogical characteristics and an aflatoxin-binding capacity (BCAfB1) above 90%. BCAfB1 is determined by an official adsorption assay using an aflatoxin solution (4 mg/L) in acetate buffer (pH 5.0) and a bentonite at 0.02% (w/v). To date, the robustness of this method has not been investigated. In this work, we addressed this challenge and performed a robustness study by analyzing six bentonite samples that met the mineralogical requirements for claim code 1 m558. Leading factors selected for robustness testing were (1) preparation mode of bentonite suspension, (2) residual amount of acetonitrile in the test trial, (3) acetate buffer concentration, (4) incubation time, and (5) centrifugation. It was statistically evinced that factors 2 and 5 affected the results. Due to its weakness, the method excluded 4 out of six bentonites to be marketed in EU, being BCAfB1 < 90%. A new protocol was developed by keeping the main experimental parameters of the official assay and was in-house validated. This protocol yielded BCAfB1 > 90% for all test bentonites and showed satisfactory precisions with a RSDI of 3.4% and HorRat < 2. Its validity was proven by the isotherm approach, comparing Langmuir adsorption parameters with BCAfB1 values. Application of the protocol to bentonites other than montmorillonite was demonstrated.
Turmeric Powder Counteracts Oxidative Stress and Reduces AFB1 Content in the Liver of Broilers Exposed to the EU Maximum Levels of the Mycotoxin Neenu Amminikutty, Veronica Spalenza, Watanya Jarriyawattanachaikul, Paola Badino, Maria Teresa Capucchio, Elena Colombino, Achille Schiavone, Donato Greco, Vito D’Ascanio, Giuseppina Avantaggiato, Sihem Dabbou, Carlo Nebbia, Flavia Girolami Toxins, 2023 The most frequent adverse effects of AFB1 in chicken are low performance, the depression of the immune system, and a reduced quality of both eggs and meat, leading to economic losses. Since oxidative stress plays a major role in AFB1 toxicity, natural products are increasingly being used as an alternative to mineral binders to tackle AFB1 toxicosis in farm animals. In this study, an in vivo trial was performed by exposing broilers for 10 days to AFB1 at dietary concentrations approaching the maximum limits set by the EU (0.02 mg/kg feed) in the presence or absence of turmeric powder (TP) (included in the feed at 400 mg/kg). The aims were to evaluate (i) the effects of AFB1 on lipid peroxidation, antioxidant parameters, histology, and the expression of drug transporters and biotransformation enzymes in the liver; (ii) the hepatic accumulation of AFB1 and its main metabolites (assessed using an in-house-validated HPLC-FLD method); (iii) the possible modulation of the above parameters elicited by TP. Broilers exposed to AFB1 alone displayed a significant increase in lipid peroxidation in the liver, which was completely reverted by the concomitant administration of TP. Although no changes in glutathione levels and antioxidant enzyme activities were detected in any treatment group, AFB1 significantly upregulated and downregulated the mRNA expression of CYP2A6 and Nrf2, respectively. TP counteracted such negative effects and increased the hepatic gene expression of selected antioxidant enzymes (i.e., CAT and SOD2) and drug transporters (i.e., ABCG2), which were further enhanced in combination with AFB1. Moreover, both AFB1 and TP increased the mRNA levels of ABCC2 and ABCG2 in the duodenum. The latter changes might be implicated in the decrease in hepatic AFB1 to undetectable levels (<LOD) in the TP supplemented group. Overall, our findings further support the use of TP as an effective feeding strategy to prevent AFB1-related adverse effects in broilers.

Effect of using mycotoxin-detoxifying agents in dairy cattle feed on natural whey starter biodiversityJournal of Dairy ScienceVol. 105Issue 8PreviewNatural whey cultures (NWC) are undefined multiple-strain bacterial starter communities that can be affected by even small changes along the entire dairy chain. We applied a multidisciplinary approach to investigate how the addition of 2 mycotoxin-detoxifying agents [sodium smectite and lignocellulose-based material (B1); leonardite and betaine (B2)] to cow diets modified the microbiota of the NWC in manufacture of a Grana-like cheese. Microbiological and flow cytometry analyses showed that the content and viability of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and the total whey microbiota were not affected by the detoxifying agents, and Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus helveticus, and Limosilactobacillus fermentum were the dominant taxa.

Simultaneous Removal of Mycotoxins by a New Feed Additive Containing a Tri-Octahedral Smectite Mixed with Lignocellulose Donato Greco, Vito D’Ascanio, Mariagrazia Abbasciano, Elisa Santovito, Antonella Garbetta, Antonio F. Logrieco, Giuseppina Avantaggiato Toxins, 2022 Simultaneous removal of mycotoxins has been poorly addressed, and a limited number of studies have reported the efficacy of feed additives in sequestering a large spectrum of mycotoxins. In this study, a new mycotoxin-adsorbing agent was obtained by properly mixing a tri-octahedral smectite with a lignocellulose-based material. At a dosage of 1 mg mL−1, these materials simultaneously adsorbed frequently occurring mycotoxins and did not exert a cytotoxic effect on intestinal cells. Chyme samples obtained by a simulated GI digestion did not affect the viability of Caco-2TC7 cells as measured by the MTT test. In addition, the chyme of the lignocellulose showed a high content of polyphenols (210 mg mL−1 catechin equivalent) and good antioxidant activity. The properties of the individual constituents were maintained in the final composite, and were unaffected by their combination. When tested with a pool of seven mycotoxins at 1 µg mL−1 each and pH 5, the composite (5 mg mL−1) simultaneously sequestered AFB1 (95%), FB1 (99%), ZEA (93%), OTA (80%), T-2 (63%), and DON (22%). HT-2 adsorption did not occur. Mycotoxin adsorption increased exponentially as dosage increased, and occurred at physiological pH values. AFB1, ZEA and T-2 adsorption was not affected by pH in the range 3–9, whereas OTA and FB1 were adsorbed at pH values of 3–5. The adsorbed amount of AFB1, ZEA and T-2 was not released when pH rose from 3 to 7. FB1 and OTA desorption was less than 38%. Langmuir adsorption isotherms revealed high capacity and affinity for adsorption of the target mycotoxins. Results of this study are promising and show the potential of the new composite to remove mycotoxins in practical scenarios where several mycotoxins can co-occur.
Mycotoxin Removal by Lactobacillus spp. and Their Application in Animal Liquid Feed Chaima Ragoubi, Laura Quintieri, Donato Greco, Amel Mehrez, Imed Maatouk, Vito D’Ascanio, Ahmed Landoulsi, Giuseppina Avantaggiato Toxins, 2021 The removal of mycotoxins from contaminated feed using lactic acid bacteria (LAB) has been proposed as an inexpensive, safe, and promising mycotoxin decontamination strategy. In this study, viable and heat-inactivated L. acidophilus CIP 76.13T and L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus CIP 101027T cells were investigated for their ability to remove aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), ochratoxin A (OTA), zearalenone (ZEA), and deoxynivalenol (DON) from MRS medium and PBS buffer over a 24 h period at 37 °C. LAB decontamination activity was also assessed in a ZEA-contaminated liquid feed (LF). Residual mycotoxin concentrations were determined by UHPLC-FLD/DAD analysis. In PBS, viable L. acidophilus CIP 76.13T and L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus CIP 101027T cells removed up to 57% and 30% of ZEA and DON, respectively, while AFB1 and OTA reductions were lower than 15%. In MRS, 28% and 33% of ZEA and AFB1 were removed, respectively; OTA and DON reductions were small (≤15%). Regardless of the medium, heat-inactivated cells produced significantly lower mycotoxin reductions than those obtained with viable cells. An adsorption mechanism was suggested to explain the reductions in AFB1 and OTA, while biodegradation could be responsible for the removal of ZEA and DON. Both viable LAB strains reduced ZEA by 23% in contaminated LF after 48 h of incubation. These findings suggest that LAB strains of L. acidophilus CIP 76.13T and L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus CIP 101027T may be applied in the feed industry to reduce mycotoxin contamination.
