Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mycotoxins—toxic metabolites produced by fungi—contaminate up to 25% of global food and feed crops, posing severe health threats to humans and livestock. As conventional detoxification methods face limitations in efficacy, safety, and scalability, cutting-edge solutions are urgently needed. This Special Issue, "Advanced Detoxification Technologies for Mycotoxins," calls for pioneering research on next-generation strategies to neutralize these toxins efficiently and sustainably. We invite contributions exploring innovative approaches, including
- Biological methods (e.g., enzymatic degradation, microbial consortia);
- Nanomaterial-based solutions (e.g., nano-adsorbents, photocatalytic degradation);
- Green chemistry techniques (e.g., cold plasma, ozonation, natural inhibitors);
- Hybrid systems combining physical, chemical, and biological processes;
- Digital tools for real-time monitoring and AI-driven optimization.
Emphasis will be placed on mechanisms of action, scalability, environmental impact, and safety validation. Submissions may cover in vitro/in vivo studies, technological innovations, or computational models. This Issue aims to bridge laboratory breakthroughs with practical applications, fostering a multidisciplinary dialogue to advance food safety and reduce economic losses in agriculture.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a double-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Toxins is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
