aflatoxin detoxification in rice using citric acid
نویسندگان
چکیده
background: aflatoxins cause health hazards to human and animals and has also economical problems. therefore, the detoxification effect of citric acid was investigated in rice as the main food of iranian people. methods: initially 275 samples of rice were examined for aflatoxins by hplc. the aflatoxins contaminated samples were later treated by aqueous citric acid and detoxification of aflatoxins were quantified using hplc. results: among the 275 samples analyzed, aflatoxin b 1 and aflatoxin b 2 were detected in 211(76.72% of total) samples. aflatoxin b 1 was detected in 203(73.82% of total) samples with a mean and standard deviation of 2.3±10.21ppb. aflatoxin b 2 together with aflatoxin b 1 were detected in only 8(2.91% of total) samples with a mean and standard deviation of 1.38±2.7ppb of aflatoxin b 2 and 2.99±1.56 of aflatoxin b 1 respectively. aflatoxin b 1 level in 5 samples (1.82%) was above the maximum tolerated level of aflatoxin b 1 in iran (5ppb). however considering the iranian maximum tolerated level for aflatoxins in rice (30ppb), only 3(1.09%) samples were above the 30ppb and also in regard to the european maximum tolerated level for aflatoxins in rice (4ppb), only 9(3.27%) samples were considered as higher than 4ppb. conclusion: the hplc assay showed that although aflatoxins with a concentration of <30 and <4 ppb in the rice samples were completely degraded, but 97.22% degradation occurred in rice contaminated with ³30 and ³4ppb when treated with 1n citric acid. these results revealed the efficacy of 1n citric acid in reducing aflatoxins levels in rice.

متن کاملAflatoxin Detoxification : Hydroxydihydro - Aflatoxin B 1
A large number of microorganisms were screened in shaken-flask culture for their ability to detoxify the fungal toxin, aflatoxin B, (A. Ciegler et al., Appl. Microbiol. 14:934, 1966). We noted formation of a new fluorescing compound with concomitant disappearance of aflatoxin B, when toxin was added to acid-producing mold cultures. Steaming the culture before addition of toxin did not prevent f...
متن کاملMicrobial detoxification of aflatoxin.
Yeasts, molds, bacteria, actinomycetes, algae, and fungal spores were screened for their ability to degrade aflatoxin. Some molds and mold spores partially transformed aflatoxin B(1) to new fluorescing compounds. Only one of the bacteria, Flavobacterium (aurantiacum?) NRRL B-184, removed aflatoxin from solution. Both growing and resting cells of B-184 took up toxin irreversibly. Toxin-contamina...
متن کاملDecomposition and detoxification of aflatoxin B1 by lactic acid.
BACKGROUND A degradation study of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) was carried out using a combination of physical and chemical methods. AFB1 was heated at 80 °C in the presence of acetic, citric and lactic acids for various time periods. The cytotoxicity of the degraded AFB1 and its products were determined by MTT assay. RESULTS The results showed that among the three organic acids lactic acid was most e...
متن کاملDetoxification of Aflatoxin - Contaminated Agricultural Commodities
Aflatoxin-contaminated commodities can be detoxified by a variety of methods based to some extent on economics and the physical and chemical characteristics of the substance being treated. Electronic and hand sorting of peanuts with ammoniation of contaminated oilseed meals and corn currently appears to offer the most promise. Microbiological decontamination appears to be the least feasible met...

This study was carried out to examine aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) removal ability of four strains of lactic acidbacteria (LAB). Three indigenous (Lactobacillus rhamnosus TMU094, Lactobacillus fermentum TMU121and Pedioccus pentosaceus TMU457) and a non-indigenous (Labacillus rhamnosus PTCC1637) isolateswere studied. The strains were incubated with (AFB1) at different time. The toxin residual in the supe...
