Grain preservatives: effect on aflatoxin and ochratoxin production
1975
Vandegraft, E.E. | Hesseltine, C.W. | Shotwell, O.L.
Corn was treated with either 2% ammonia or 1% propionic acid. Both ammonia and propionic acid significantly reduced mould growth and subsequent aflatoxin and ochratoxin formation. Growth and the formation of mycotoxins were inhibited more by propionic acid than by ammonia. Both ammonia and propionic acid remained effective in inhibiting mould growth and aflatoxin production and in preventing ochratoxin production when treated corn stood as long as 19 and 29 wk, respectively, before inoculation.
