Abstrakt: The mechanism involved in the disappearance of aflatoxin B from liquid medium by fungus mycelium has been investigated. It is shown that mycelium and clay can adsorb aflatoxin dissolved in liquid media; in this way it is possible to detoxify contaminated solutions. From this observation, it is suggested that adsorption should be adopted as a new technique in the removal of aflatoxin from contaminated liquid foodstuffs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
