?ELIMINATION OF NATURALLY OCCURRING AFLATOXINS IN COTTONSEED MEAL
Keywords:
Aflatoxins, Detoxification, Ammonia, Cottonseed meal.Abstract
Ammoniation appears to be one of the most extensively studied and applied chemical methods. The present
study was aimed atdetermining optimum time periodrequired atpilot plantscale todetoxify aflatoxins incottonseed
mealbyammoniationundersteampressureandelevatedtemperature.Thedetoxification wasachieved upto97% with
onepercentammoniaat99± 1°Cunder0.7±0.035bar steampressure.Thequalityandtextureof startingmaterialwas
not significantly altered. This study was also aimed to develop a feasible process for detoxification of aflatoxins in
cottonseed mealoncommercialscaleinPakistan.
