Fusarium fungi can severely impact wheat and barley harvests, diverting crops, such as grains, into suboptimal use or application. Evonik has developed a specialized washing process using peracetic acid to combat these microorganisms and improve both quality and yield, allowing for greater cost-savings and barley sales due to decreased degradation. We are actively collaborating with malthouses in the U.S. and Canada, with further expansion planned in Europe, to implement this innovative approach and reduce losses in grain production.
