Mycotoxin is natural contaminant and cause adverse effects on human and animal health. Since it is too hard for mycotoxin to reach zero tolerance, many approachs to reduce intake mycotoxin from final food products have been tried. However the developed tools until now has advantages and disadvantages. Therefore the development of new method for reduction of exposure to mycotoxins is needed on food processing.In this study, we developed pectin gelation containing mycotoxin (DON) and examined suppressive effect on absorption of deoxynivalenol (DON). As pectin, low methoxy non-amidate (LMNA) pectin and amidate (LMA) pectin were used. The gelation using LMA pectin was effective for sealing DON into gel at 4℃ and 37℃. In vivo experiment revealed that the gelation suppressed the absorption of DON in gastro-intestine.The LMA pectin would be valuable processing tool to reduce the exposure to mycotoxin.
