Abstract

The management of good agricultural practices during pre-harvest is a key issue for minimising the risk of Fusarium mycotoxin accumulation in the crops. Such practices involve crop rotation, tillage, appropriate fertilisation and fungicide application, use of biological control agents, variety selection, timely planting and harvests as well as control of insects, which frequently facilitate Fusarium species infections. On the other hand, the reduction of Fusarium mycotoxins along the malting and brewing chain is also highly dependent on a correct post-harvest and malting management that must aim firstly at the separation of the infected crop products from the healthy material. Therefore, the use of different tools such as manual sorting or optical sensors is also a crucial aspect for reducing the level of mycotoxin contamination. Moreover, it is extremely important to prevent post-harvest contamination and develop practical and effective post-harvest procedures for mycotoxin reduction in the food supply chains and to provide alternative and safe use options for contaminated batches. An updated review will be given on integrated management of pre-and post-harvest practices aiming at minimising the risk of mycotoxin contamination along the malting and brewing chain and main effective solutions, including the development of a MycoKey app, proposed and to be achieved within the EU project MycoKey (http://www.mycokey.eu/) .
