METHODS FOR NEUTRALIZING AFLATOXINS BY POTASSIUM SALT OF NAPHTALENEACETIC ACID

摘要

The present invention relates to methods for detoxification of agro products contaminated by mycotoxins. The invention relates to the application of potassium salt of naphthalene acetic acid (K- NAA) mainly in agro products stored that are susceptible of contamination by aflatoxins produced by filamentous fungi (actinomycetes) of the Aspergillus genus. The invention includes K-NAA compositions designed for the aflatoxin detoxification of such agro products, particularly basic grains, including maize. The described method significantly reduces the aflatoxin contamination, ensuring public health of the consumer by preventing aflatoxicosis.
