Abstract
Samples of groundnut cake [groundnut oilmeal] from Indian markets contaminated with up to aflatoxin B1 700 ppb were mixed with urea, urease source and formaldehyde and heated to 50°C for 3 h followed by 121°C for 30 min. The process was effective for detoxification of aflatoxin B1 to more than 90% efficiency. Male albino rats (n=10 per group) were fed on diets containing untreated solvent-extracted groundnut cake or cake treated with urea-formaldehyde or formaldehyde alone for 3 months. Rats fed on diets containing the urea-formaldehyde-treated groundnut cake did not exhibit any signs of toxicity typical of aflatoxins. It is concluded that this novel process of detoxification of groundnut cake is an economical process which produces a product that is safe for consumption
