Durian peel (DP) is an agricultural waste that is widely used in dyes and for organic and inorganic pollutant adsorption. In this study, durian peel was acid-treated to enhance its mycotoxin adsorption efficacy. The acid-treated durian peel (ATDP) was assessed for simultaneous adsorption of aflatoxin B-1 (AFB(1)), ochratoxin A (OTA), zearalenone (ZEA), deoxynivalenol (DON), and fumonisin B-1 (FB1). The structure of the ATDP was also characterized by SEM-EDS, FT-IR, a zetasizer, and a surface-area analyzer. The results indicated that ATDP exhibited the highest mycotoxin adsorption towards AFB(1) (98.4%), ZEA (98.4%), and OTA (97.3%), followed by FB1 (86.1%) and DON (2.0%). The pH significantly affected OTA and FB1 adsorption, whereas AFB(1) and ZEA adsorption was not affected. Toxin adsorption by ATDP was dose-dependent and increased exponentially as the ATDP dosage increased. The maximum adsorption capacity (Q(max)), determined at pH 3 and pH 7, was 40.7 and 41.6 mmol kg(-1) for AFB(1), 15.4 and 17.3 mmol kg(-1) for ZEA, 46.6 and 0.6 mmol kg(-1) for OTA, and 28.9 and 0.1 mmol kg(-1) for FB1, respectively. Interestingly, ATDP reduced the bioaccessibility of these mycotoxins after gastrointestinal digestion using an in vitro, validated, static model. The ATDP showed a more porous structure, with a larger surface area and a surface charge modification. These structural changes following acid treatment may explain the higher efficacy of ATDP in adsorbing mycotoxins. Hence, ATDP can be considered as a promising waste material for mycotoxin biosorption.
