Finely powdered defatted groundnut meal containing AFB1 at 1.2 mM/100 g was first detoxified up to 53% with 10 IU of horseradish peroxidase enayme in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and then the meal containing 12-15% moisture was treated with microwave radiation at 1 kW for 15 min to achieve a final 97% detoxification. Mean weight gains of rats given the treated meals were essentially comparable to those for animals receiving aflatoxin free diets. Overall, nitrogen solubility of the enzyme treated meal increases in the pH 2-6 range. Polyacry lamide gel electrophoretic patterns of the protein did not show any notable changes. Amount of protein nitrogen in the meal increased after the enzymatic treatment.
