Aflatoxin inactivation in corn by aqua ammonia

1977

Brekke, O.L. | Peplinski, A.J. | Lancaster, E.B.

In laboratory tests, aqueous ammonia effectively reduced the acute toxicity of the toxin in naturally contaminated corn as determined by chemical analysis and verified by biological assays. Results are presented on the effects of temperature, ammonia and moisture levels in corn, and reaction time on the response of several corn lots varying in initial aflatoxin content.
