Differences detected in vivo between samples of aflatoxin – contaminated peanut meal, following decontamination by two ammonia –based processes.

A sample of peanut meal, highly contaminated with aflatoxins, was subjected to decontamination by two commercial ammonia – based processes. The original contaminated and the two decontaminated meals were fed to rats for 90 days. No lesions associated with aflatoxin induced hepatoearcinogenesis were detected histologically following feeding with the two detoxified meals, however, there were clear differences between the two meals in respect of growth rates of the rats. In addition, feeding one of the detoxifed meals resulted in hepatic abnormalities. It was concluded that peanut meal where an initial, unacceptable level of contamination with aflatoxins had been reduced by two ammonia based processes to comparable, acceptable levels, may still have different effects in vivo when incorporated into animal diets.
