Abstract
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.The results showed that among the three organic acids lactic acid was most efficient in degrading AFB1. Although complete degradation was not...
