Characterization of Nanoformulations from Montmorillonite clay for the decontamination of zearalenonein cereals using X-ray Diffraction Technique
Montmorillonite clay due to its abundance and environmental friendliness has several
industrial applications among which are the adsorption of mycotoxins in foods and feed. The
mycotoxin; zearalenone (ZEA) is oestrogenic and has been implicated in hormonal and
reproductive issues for both man and animals. Thus, nanoformulations from Montmorillonite
clay and Cymbopogoncitratus (lemongrass)...
