Popis: Today, mycotoxins are considered a serious risk for human health and the economy around the world. Hence, dealing with them in such a way as to minimise damage to food and plant materials has become an important issue. Cold atmospheric plasma and electron beam irradiation are updated and non-thermal technologies, which are recently used in detoxification of mycotoxins. Both of these technologies have several unique features that turn them into efficient methods for degrading mycotoxins. Therefore, the main purpose of the present study is exhibiting the detoxification power of these methods and parameters affecting their activity. Besides, their advantages, generating systems, activity mechanism, and the toxicity of degradation products are also reviewed.
