Reactions of lipids in corn with ammonia.

Ammonia has recently been employed in experimental tests for the treatment of corn to inactivate aflatoxin, to control molds, and as a preservative during ambient-air drying of freshly harvested highmoisture corn. When these various ammonia treatments are properly applied, no adverse effects have been found on any of the constituents of whole corn. However, in the work being reported when 0.1 %...

Aflatoxin in corn: ammonia inactivation and bioassay with rainbow trout.

Four samples of corn were compared with respect to their hepatocarcinogenicity in rainbow trout. One corn sample was found by chemical analysis to contain no detectable aflatoxin. A second sample was contaminated with aflatoxins at a level of 180 microgram/kg. Each of the above-mentioned samples was divided, and one-half of each was ammoniated. These four samples were added to a semipurified ba...
