Studies on aflatoxin in rice: Description and evaluation of a new apparatus for the separation of husk from dehulled rice contaminated with aflatoxin

A simple apparatus and method developed for the separation of husk from dehulled (brown) rice contaminated with aflatoxin is described. The performance and efficiency of the apparatus was evaluated by passing a series of dehulled rice and husk mixtures through it. Subsequently the aflatoxin distribution in both rice and husk was determined. The range was 24 to 81% for aflatoxin B₁ and 11 to 76 % for B₂, depending on the rice grain category and variety. The study indicates that the apparatus can be used conveniently to separate husk from aflatoxin-contaminated rice with a minimum hazard to personnel. It is therefore recommended for use particularly in developing countries, where laboratory test mills may not be available.     

Susceptibility of Date Fruits (Phoenix dactylifera) to Aflatoxin Production

Segments of fruits from 12 varieties of date (Phoenix dactylifera) and three stages of maturation were inoculated with a toxigenic strain of Aspergillus parasiticus. During growth at 28°C for 10 days, 8 varieties supported appreciable aflatoxin production at the Khalal stage—the most popular stage for direct human consumption, with a maximum value in excess of 300 μg g^-1 of fruit. Marked differences in susceptibility to infection and/or aflatoxin production were observed between varieties and/or stage of maturation. It was concluded that toxigenic aspergilli could proliferate on any date fruits that suffered mechanical damage in the field or during harvesting, and hence that such fruits should be considered as likely to be unfit for human or animal consumption. © 1997 SCI.     

吲哚对黄曲霉生长及产毒的抑制作用

本文研究了吲哚对黄曲霉的生长以及产毒的抑制作用。通过96孔板微量法发现吲哚能够抑制黄曲霉的生长,其最小抑制浓度(MIC)为100μg/m L;进而采用差量法测定了吲哚对黄曲霉菌丝生长量的抑制作用,结果表明200μg/m L的吲哚处理可以完全抑制黄曲霉的菌丝生长。此外,通过高效液相色谱分析发现吲哚浓度达到50μg/m L时,尽管对菌丝生长量没有明显影响,但是可以有效地抑制黄曲霉毒素B1的产生。这些结果说明吲哚抑制毒素产生并不是通过抑制生长来实现的。为了进一步了解吲哚对毒素产生的抑制机制,本研究通过RT-PCR分析了吲哚对黄曲霉产毒相关基因表达的影响。结果显示吲哚对产毒调控基因afl R的影响与其对毒素的作用趋势相同,同时吲哚还能够下调其他一些产毒相关基因afl K和alf D的表达。我们的研究结果表明吲哚具有很高的开发价值应用于粮食和饲料中黄曲霉毒素污染的控制。     

Aflatoxin B1 and aflatoxins in ground red chilli pepper after drying

In this study, 180 red chilli pepper (RCP) berry samples were obtained from two different croplands of Gaziantep and Kahramanmara? (Turkey) in August, September and October. RCP berry samples were dried under sunlight and grinded. Ground red chilli pepper (GRCP) samples were analysed for aflatoxins (AFs, sum of B₁, B₂, G₁ and G₂) and AFB₁ contamination. According to the results, in 49 of 180 samples, AFB₁ and in 37 samples, AFs were higher than legal limits. The lowest amounts of AFs and AFB₁ were obtained in August and the highest amounts in October. χ² analysis showed that there were no significant differences (p > 0.05) between cities among 3 months according to number of samples with AFs and AFB₁ above legal limits. According to the Duncan multiple-range test, there was no significant difference between all months. Strict measures are necessary to produce high-quality GRCP. RCP berry must be treated to reduce moulds before production of GRCP.     

Assessment of Groundnut Varietal Tolerant to Aflatoxin Contamination in Indonesia

Aflatoxin is secondary metabolite produced by Aspergillus flavus and A. paraciticus that grow on the seed coat (testa) of groundnut. This toxin is a serious food safety issue throughout the world. The availability of resistant genotype to A. flavus infection and/or aflatoxin contamination urgently needed. The experiment found one genotype had aflatoxin contamination under the safe level (≤ 10 ppb), with <15% of seed number infected by A. flavus. Recently, the biggest peanut industry, where the main production is roasted-peanut (in shell) produced from fresh pods, grows and develops that variety.     

非脱羧勒克菌wt16对黄曲霉菌生长与产毒的抑制作用

黄曲霉菌及其毒素严重威胁农产品质量安全,本文旨在探寻非脱羧勒克菌对黄曲霉菌及其毒素污染防控效果。从湖北黄陂分离筛选出一株非脱梭勒克菌wt16,将其与黄曲霉菌在液体培养基中共培养后测定非脱羧勒克菌wt16菌株对黄曲霉菌生长及产毒的抑制率。结果表明,在沙氏液体培养基中,非脱羧勒克菌wt16能明显抑制黄曲霉菌的生长及产毒,对其菌丝生长的抑制率为77%~92%,对其产毒的抑制率为90%~96%。通过扫描电子显微镜观察发现,非脱羧勒克菌wt16能改变黄曲霉菌丝的形态,使得黄曲霉菌丝体由规则的球体聚集成不规则形状,单个菌丝会由细长型断裂成小截形态,菌丝表面也变得更为光滑;并且发现wt16在花生粉及未受机械损伤的花生颗粒上对黄曲霉菌的生长及产毒均表现出很强的抑制作用。进一步研究发现,非脱羧勒克菌wt16菌株发酵上清液中含有能抑制黄曲霉毒素合成的有效成分,且该发酵上清液的制备以培养4 d以上为最佳,培养温度为15~40 ℃。

植物挥发油对黄曲霉毒素产生菌及其毒素合成的影响

黄曲霉毒素(AFT)是由黄曲霉(Aspergillus flavus)和寄生曲霉(Aspergillus parasiticus)等曲霉属真菌产生的次生代谢产物,具有致畸、致癌、致突变等作用.AFT污染多种粮食作物及食品,其极强的毒性严重威胁到人体健康.寻找各种黄曲霉毒素抑制剂已成为国内外研究的热点.部分抗生素类药物及化学杀菌剂虽然具有较强的抗黄曲霉作用,但鉴于其毒副作用较明显,使用范围非常有限.近二十年来,人们开始从天然产物中寻找毒副作用低、易降解并且安全性高的黄曲霉抑制剂.本文对天然植物挥发油及其单体成分抑制黄曲霉和寄生曲霉生长并抑制AFT合成,以及在粮食、食品及其包装等方面的应用情况进行综述,为进一步研究植物挥发油类成分的抑菌机制和产品开发提供参考.
