Immunosuppression in Chickens by Aflatoxin , [PDF]
Poultry Science, 1974 Abstract Aflatoxin, a potent natural contaminant in feedstuffs, suppressed hemagglutinin formation in chickens. The primary immune response was reduced in a dose-related fashion when aflatoxin was incorporated into the diet at levels as low as 0.625 μg. per gram.

Genome-scale mutational signatures of aflatoxin in cells, mice, and human tumors
bioRxiv, 2017 Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a mutagen and IARC Group 1 carcinogen that causes hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here we present the first whole genome data on the mutational signatures of AFB1 exposure from a total of > 40,000 mutations in four experimental ...

Use of Cold Plasma for Phytosanitation and Decontamination of Food Products: A Review
Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.Applications of cold plasma in food industry. ABSTRACT Consumers are increasingly demanding healthy and nutrient‐rich food. Although conventional thermal processing techniques (pasteurization, sterilization, and blanching) ensure food safety and extend shelf life, they often negatively impact nutritional value and sensory quality, and they also consume

Aflatoxin-free transgenic maize using host-induced gene silencing
Science Advances, 2017 Suppression of an Aspergillus biosynthetic enzyme effectively alleviates aflatoxin production in transgenic maize kernels. Aflatoxins, toxic secondary metabolites produced by some Aspergillus species, are a universal agricultural economic problem and a ...

Production of Aflatoxin on Soybeans [PDF]
Applied Microbiology, 1975 Probable factors influencing resistance to aflatoxin synthesis in soybeans have been investigated by using cultures of Aspergillus parasiticus NRRL 3240. Soybeans contain a small amount of zinc (0.01 μg/g) bound to phytic acid.
