Kinetics of deoxynivalenol degradation by Aspergillus oryzae and Rhizopus oryzae in submerged fermentation
The objective was to evaluate the capacity of Aspergillus oryzae and Rhizopus oryzae to degrade deoxynivalenol (DON) during submerged fermentation. The submerged medium utilized was sterile distilled water with 1μg mL-1 DON, added and inoculated with 4 × 10(6) spores mL-1 of the fungal species. Sampling was performed every 48 h to 240 h. DON analyses included residual mass, percentage and velocity of degradation. Residual mass of DON in the collected medium was extracted by liquid-liquid partition and quantified by gas chromatography through derivation with trifluoroacetic anhydride. The time required for the largest DON degradation was 96 h and 240 h by Aspergillus oryzae and Rhizopus oryzae respectively, and degradation rate were 0.62 and 0.54 μg h-1, respectively. Rhizopus oryzae caused the largest decrease in DON at around 90% in 240 h, while Aspergillus oryzae caused the most rapid degradation with a 74% reduction of DON at 96 h.
