Abstract

A method for the removal of mycotoxins from cereal or oil seed meal that includes the use of a mycotoxin sequestrant to form a food grade composition for human consumption wherein said composition contains no more or less than an FDA approved level of mycotoxin for a human food product.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method for removing mycotoxins comprising:
 a. preparing a slurry containing a mycotoxin contaminated cereal or oil seed meal and water,   b. adding mycotoxin sequestrant in an amount to at least reduce the level of mycotoxin to FDA approved levels of mycotoxin for a human food product,   c. stirring said mycotoxin sequestrant containing slurry for a period of time to allow the sequestrant to bind the mycotoxin.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising adding a protease to the aqueous slurry containing the mycotoxin sequestrant. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising at least one separation step to form a water-insoluble solids composition for an animal feed grade product and a liquid soluble solids composition for human consumption. 
     
     
         4 . A composition prepared by the method of  claim 1  wherein the composition is a liquid soluble solids composition which can be used to form a food grade composition for human consumption. 
     
     
         5 . A composition prepared by the method of  claim 2  wherein the composition is a liquid soluble solids composition which can be used to form a food grade composition for human consumption. 
     
     
         6 . A food grade composition prepared from mycotoxin contaminated cereal or oil seed meal for human consumption wherein said composition contains no more or less than an FDA approved level of mycotoxin for a human food product after treating said contaminated meal with a mycotoxin sequestrant. 
     
     
         7 . The composition of  claim 6  further comprising bioactive peptides.
