Degradation of Aflatoxin B<sub>1</sub> by a Sustainable Enzymatic Extract from Spent Mushroom Substrate of <i>Pleurotus eryngii</i>

Ligninolytic enzymes from white-rot fungi, such as laccase (Lac) and Mn-peroxidase (MnP), are able to degrade aflatoxin B<sub>1</sub> (AFB1), the most harmful among the known mycotoxins. The high cost of purification of these enzymes has limited their implementation into practical techno...
