  • Title: Detoxification of aflatoxin-polluted peanut cakes with monomethylamine/Ca(OH)2: pilot industrial application, nutrition experiments, toxicity evaluation.
    Author: Giddey C, Bunter G, Larroux R, Jemmali M, Rossi J.
    Journal: J Environ Pathol Toxicol Oncol; 1992; 11(1):60-3. PubMed ID: 1740770.
    Abstract:
    The process described has been studied up to an industrial pilot scale. In this article this article we summarize the basic knowledge on the process and the technological conditions of pilot application for detoxifying peanut cakes polluted by up to 3,500 ppb Aflatoxine (2,300 ppb B1). The nutritional experiments carried out on rats and other mammals are described, and the toxicological and biochemical evaluation of the cakes on Bacillacea are reported and discussed. The data collected show that the MMA/Ca(OH)2 process offers promising possibilities for industrial application on the basis of technological and economic criteria, as well as from the point of view of efficiency and safety.
