Mycotoxin-producing fungi hazardously contaminate a variety of food and feed crops including wheat. As toxic contamination can lead to serious effects on human and animal health, it is essential to monitor its presence in crops. FABTECH’s team contributed to the development of a fully automated device provides an opportunity for efficient, truly representative immediate on-site testing of DON toxin (deoxynivalenol) in wheat enabling traders, mills or growers to monitor crop quality in their large-sized lots. The team of FABTCEH made the design and construction of the wheat dust sampling unit and the user-friendly computer based control and monitoring unit.
