Abstract:

Trichothecenes are a class of mycotoxins, widely present in grains and animal feed as well as human food
produced from contaminated grain. The mycotoxins pose a potential health threat to humans and livestock. Toxic effects,
analytical method and detoxification technique are reviewed in this paper and recent advance in techniques for their detection
and detoxification are also discussed in detail. This review is expected to provide helpful references for controlling the use of
trichothecenes in grain and produces.

Key words: mycotoxins, toxicity, clean-up, detection, detoxification
