Neutral metalloendopeptidase in vitro experiments. HPLC-fluorescence chromatograms of neutral metalloendopeptidase–OTA in vitro experiments, showing differences in its ability to degrade OTA at different pH conditions and incubated at 41 °C. (A) pH 4.6; (B). pH 5; (C) pH 7; (D) Bars showed OTA (µg/L) degradation (8.2, 14.44 and 45.26%) at pH 4.6, 5 and 7, respectively. In all chromatograms the control is represented in red and experimental repetitions are in blue, green and pink. (*** p < 0.0001).
