Several strategies can help reduce fumonisin exposure:
Crop Management: Implementing good agricultural practices, such as crop rotation and proper storage conditions, can reduce fungal infection and subsequent fumonisin production. Food Processing: Certain processing methods, like nixtamalization (alkaline cooking), can significantly reduce fumonisin content in maize-based products. Biological Control: Using biological agents to control Fusarium fungi in the field can also be an effective strategy. Regulatory Measures: Enforcing strict regulations on fumonisin levels in food and feed can help minimize exposure.
