M_ads—the amount of toxin bound; %_ads—the percentage of the molecule that is bound to the adsorbing agent (adsorption efficiency, %); C_ads—adsorption capacity (concentration adsorbed by 1 g of preparation); K_d—distribution coefficient. CW cell wall preparation; β-G—β-glucan preparation. The initial content of mycotoxin was 1000 ng in each test tube. Values represent mean of at least three independent experiments; a, b, c…—mean values marked with the same letters do not differ significantly (Tukey’s test, α = 0.05).
