The effects and safety of electron beam irradiation (EBI) treatment on the detoxification of aflatoxin B₁ (AFB₁) in the peanut meal were evaluated in this article. The AFB₁ degradation was predominantly affected by both initial AFB₁ and water concentrations. The degradation of AFB₁ in the selected concentrations (0.5–5 ppm) was proven to follow pseudo first-order reaction kinetics (R² > 0.95). The AFB₁ degradation was faster when the initial concentration was 5 ppm and the moisture content was 21.47%, in comparison with the initial concentration of 1 ppm and 0.5 ppm and the moisture content of 14.32% and 8.74%, respectively. The Ames and cytotoxicity tests were employed to evaluate the residual toxicity of EBI-treated peanut meal. The mutagenic activity of EB-treated samples was completely lost compared with that of untreated samples and the degradation products in peanut meal has almost no cell toxicity.
