As I recall I think Doug McCutcheon did some work with putting fumagillan in
patties.  I recall getting some figures from him when it was being discussed
here in Australia.  Around 1986 there was something published by Tibor Zabo,
I think, re feeding fumagillan dry.

As a footnote, we never went ahead with the idea of putting fumagillan in
patties mainly because of the costs of importing fumagillan.
