Abstract excerpt
In this paper, the enzymatic detoxification of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) by laccase was studied, and the prooxidant properties and mutagenicity of the detoxification products were compared with those of AFB1. The optimal enzymatic reaction occurred in 0.1M of citrate buffer containing 20% DMSO at 35 °C, a pH of 4.5, and a laccase activity of 30 U mL(-1). After 2 d, sixty-seven percent of the toxic substrate was...
