Samples of corn flour experimentally contaminated with aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) at 50 mg/kg and DON at 5 mg/kg were extruded and the effects of three extrusion variables, flour noisture, extrusion temperature and sodium metabisulphite addition, were analysed, The process was effective for the reduction of DON content in corn flour with higher than 95% inactivation under all the conditions assessed, but was only partially successful (10 – 25%) for the decontamination of AFB1.
