Description
Miao Yu and her three co-authors, publishing in 2026, chart how a toxin-making fungus spoils soybean meal over 54 days of storage. The fungus, Fusarium graminearum, is a major contaminant of grain and feed. The team seeded meal samples and tracked the fungus, the meal's protein structure, its microstructure, and the gases it gave off.
Spoilage came in three acts: a quiet month of latent infection, a sharp turn near day 36, and severe decay through day 54. Fungal spore counts surged, then eased. Ordered protein shapes steadily unraveled into disordered ones as the meal's compact texture broke down. Ninety-nine volatile compounds were catalogued, and five stood out as spoilage markers tightly tied to the fungus. The authors offer the timeline and the chemical fingerprint as early evidence for future spoilage alarms in feed storage.
