Abstract:

T-2 toxin is a kind of type A trichothecene mycotoxins produced by a variety of Fusarium fungi. It is widespread in
nature and its residue can be easily retained in cereal and cereal products in a concealed manner. Moreover, it can contaminate
plant-origin or animal-origin foods directly or indirectly, thus resulting in serious threats to livestock and human health, by
the enrichment in the organism and food chain. This paper summarizes the origin, characteristics, detection, removal, current
problems and future trends of T-2 toxin, which will provide a theoretical basis for follow-up exploration.

Key words: T-2 toxin, characteristics, detection, removal, trend
