Aflatoxin is natural toxin produced by fungi. It can be mainly classified as aflatoxin B, aflatoxin G, and aflatoxin M. To mankind and livestock, aflatoxins have high toxicity, teratogenicity, mutagenicity, and carcinogenicity. Compared to other aflatoxins, aflatoxin B1 is the most toxic. Aflatoxin B1 and aflatoxin M1 have been classified as Group 1 (established carcinogens to human) by International Agency for Research on Cancer. Therefore, how to detoxify aflatoxins has won increasing attention at home and abroad. This paper mainly expounded the physical methods, chemical methods, and biological methods for aflatoxin detoxification at home and abroad, laying emphasis on reviewing the varieties of biological methods for aflatoxin detoxification, detoxification mechanisms, and toxicity of degradation products. Before ending, the paper also prospected the future for research activities in this field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
