In these study samples of dried fruits, nuts, cereals and beans
were analyzed for total AFs by high pressure liquid chromatography.
Decontamination by different methods was also conducted. Biological
and physical methods were evaluated to decontaminate the mycotoxin
(aflatoxins) contaminated agricultural commodities, to prevent the
threat to human health and the risk of great economic loss. In
biological decontamination, some materials such as chemicals,
herbal compounds/spices and plants were showed the inhibitory
effect on the growth of Aspergillus flavus / Aspergillus
parasiticus and total aflatoxins production. Thus some herbal
compounds/spices and some chemicals as preservatives may
successfully replace synthetic pesticides and provide an
alternative method to protect our staple food from the toxic fungal
contamination. In physical decontamination, application of oven
heating and washing shows reduction in contamination level of AFB1
in different wheat varieties. Moreover, the cooking of rice in an
excess of water showed maximum reduction on the levels of AFB1 and
OTA in contaminated basmati rice samples than normal cooking and
microwave oven cooking.
