Strategies for minimization of mycotoxins and toxigenic fungi in food chains

We are glad to announce the training course 'Strategies for minimization of mycotoxins and toxigenic fungi in food chains', that will be hosted by the Institute of sciences of food production (Ispa-Cnr) of Bari under the aegis of the Mycokey project. The course aims at training smart, integrated, sustainable solutions and innovative tools to manage and reduce the major mycotoxins (aflatoxins, fumonisins, trichothecenes and ochratoxin A) in economically important food and feed chains (maize, wheat, barley, dried fruits and grape) in pre and post-harvest. Advanced technologies in the field of chemical detection, molecular analysis, modelling and Ict solutions will be covered by highly qualified international instructors, throughout lectures and laboratory experiences. About half of the duration of the workshop will be 'hands on' and spent in the laboratory.

The course covers

Plant disease & mycotoxin
Monitoring

  • Detection of toxigenic fungi
  • Mycotoxin monitoring & Regulation

Pre-harvest management
Prevention in the field

  • Breeding for resistance
  • Biocontrol
  • Agronomic measures
  • Modelling
  • ICT solutions

Post-harvest management
Remediation

  • Physical methods
  • Chemical methods
  • Biological methods

Highly qualified instructors for the training topics will participate to the Training Course. International experts in the fields covered by the course will train the students throughout lectures and laboratory experiences.
