REMOVAL OF AFLATOXIN B<inf>1</inf>TOXICITY BUT NOT MUTAGENICITY BY 1 MEGARAD GAMMA RADIATION OF PEANUT MEAL
The toxic and mutagenic effects of gamma‐irradiated peanut meal contaminated with aflatoxin B1were studied in Salmonella typhimu‐rium strain TM 677, using forward mutation to 8‐azaguanine resistance. After treatment with 5 to 10 M‐rad gamma radiation, the contaminated peanut meal lost its toxic and...

| Summary: | The toxic and mutagenic effects of gamma‐irradiated peanut meal contaminated with aflatoxin B1were studied in Salmonella typhimu‐rium strain TM 677, using forward mutation to 8‐azaguanine resistance. After treatment with 5 to 10 M‐rad gamma radiation, the contaminated peanut meal lost its toxic and mutagenic properties. Irradiation at 0.1 to 1.0 M‐rad removed 75–100% of the toxicity but not mutagenicity. Copyright © 1982, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved |
