Karl Hult 1, Anna Teiling 1, Sten Gatenbeck 1
PMCID: PMC170087  PMID: 988783

Abstract

The fate of ochratoxin A during incubation with contents from the four stomachs of the cow was studied. It was concluded that ochratoxin A was cleaved into the nontoxic ochratoxin α and phenylalanine by the contents from all but the abomasum.
