Review :
"Mycotoxin reduction in grain chainsis a very helpful book both as a reference work for those involved in the fields of mycotoxins or cereal production as well as a good introduction for those who would like to start in that areas. The format of the book presenting and discussing microbiological, analytical, pre-harvest and postharvest techniques is extremely convenient. The book emphasises on current technologies which are increasingly applied for cereals but does also provides a picture of upcoming trends." (World Mycotoxin Journal, 1 February 2015)
