Summary of the technological need
A technology to detect the presence of mycotoxins in the food industry.
Background
Where : detect mycotoxins on the production lines of a food industry
Description: An example of mycotoxins are aflotoxines. Aflatoxines are present on the grass in the fields. Grass is eaten by the cows that subsequently produces milk. Presence in the milk of aflatoxins has to be monitored because it induces cancers.
Present practice : Standard kits are used today to detect aflatoxins.
Wanted : Go beyond aflotoxines. Being able to characterize all sorts of mycotoxins at different stages of the production process.
