【Expert answer】
Any Q

Aflatoxins are highly thermostable. Studies have shown that AFB1 levels are significantly reduced by heating at 100 and 150°C for 90 minutes, respectively, at 41.9 and 81.2%.


Can aflatoxin be destroyed by cooking?

Heating and cooking under pressure can destroy nearly 70% of aflatoxin in rice compared to under atmospheric pressure only 50% destroyed (37). Dry and oil roastings can reduce about 50-70% of aflatoxin B1 (38). We could show that only about 10% of total 1242 ppb of aflatoxin B.

Are aflatoxins destroyed by heat?

Heat is relatively ineffective for destruction of aflatoxin although normal roasting, as of peanuts for the preparation of peanut butter, results in considerable reduction in aflatoxin content. Treatment withFlavobacterium aurantiacum removes aflatoxin and may be useful for beverages.

Does heat inactivate aflatoxin?

Aflatoxins are well known to be stable at high temperature. In modern food/feed manufacturing technology, heating treatment is always used to degrade mycotoxins to a certain extent during the processing. Recent studies have shown that AFB1 could be significantly removed at high humidity [9, 10, 11, 12].

How do I delete aflatoxin?

By applying ammoniation, the AFM1 content can be reduced by 79 to 90% [96]. The application of 0.5–2.0% ammonia under high pressure (45–50 psi) with 12–16% of moisture at 80–100 °C for less than an hour is considered the most effective method to reduce the AFM1 content of milk [106].
