ABSTRACT

Aflatoxins, like all mycotoxins, are toxic fungal metabolites that can have adverse health effects on animals and human beings. Aflatoxins are a major concern for the dry-grind corn processing industry as it is believed that aflatoxins affect yeast and reduce its efficacy in producing ethanol. In the present study, aflatoxin B1 (100, 200, 350, or 775 ppb) was added to mycotoxin-free corn and laboratory-scale fermentations were conducted. No effect of aflatoxin B1 was observed ...

Analysis of Mycotoxins in Various Cattle Forages and Food Matrices with the TSQ Quantum Discovery MAX
Spectroscopy ; Mycotoxins are toxic metabolites produced by certain species of fungi that can infect and colonize on various agricultural crops in the field and during storage. Mycotoxins pose a potential threat to human and animal health through the ingestion of contaminated food products and can have both
Food restriction reduces aflatoxin B1 (AFB1)-DNA adduct formation, AFB1-Glutathione conjugation, and DNA damage in AFB1-treated male F344 rats and B6C3F1 mice
The Journal of Nutrition ; ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to examine effects of food restriction (FR) on the metabolic activation of aflatoxin B, (AFB,) in rats and mice, which are AFB,-sensitive and -resistant rodent species, respectively. Forty percent FR [60 of ad libitum (AL) food consumption] reduced the
Peanut Milk and Peanut Milk Based Products Production: A Review
Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition ; Since the early 1950s, numerous reports have been published suggesting that peanut milk and peanut milk based products can be prepared in a wide variety of ways. Emphasis has shifted from preparing inexpensive milk like beverages, very nutritious but somewhat lacking consumers appeal, to using the
Transfer of Aflatoxin B1 from Feed to Milk and from Milk to Curd and Whey in Dairy Sheep Fed Artificially Contaminated Concentrates
Journal of Dairy Science ; ABSTRACT An experiment was carried out using dairy ewes to study the transfer of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) from feed to milk and from milk to cheese. The effects of AFB1 on liver function and hematological parameters were also investigated. Fifteen ewes were assigned to treatments in replicated 3 3 Latin
Binding of Aflatoxin M^sub 1^ to Different Protein Fractions in Ovine and Caprine Milk
Journal of Dairy Science ; ABSTRACT The affinity of aflatoxin M^sub 1^ toward the main milk protein fractions in ewe and goat milk was investigated by using an ELISA. This study took into account the possible effects of common dairy processes such as ultrafiltration, acidic or rennet curding, and production of ricotta from
DNA-Reactive Carcinogens: Mode of Action and Human Cancer Hazard
Critical Reviews in Toxicology ; It has been known for decades that mutagenicity plays an important role in the activity of most carcinogens. This mutagenicity can result from direct damage to DNA through a chemical being DNA reactive or from indirect effects, such as through the production of oxygen radicals that then react with
