Zusammenfassung

Aflatoxin wurde in Gegenwart von 225 μm-NaCI und 50 μm-H2O2 bei 28° C durch 5, 50 bzw. 500 Einheiten von Lactoperoxidase/ml Reaktionsgemisch abgebaut. Wenn die Konzentration der Lactoperoxidase von 50 bis auf 500 Einheiten/ml Reaktionsgemisch gesteigert wurde, dann stieg die Geschwindigkeit des Aflatoxinabbaues von 3,6 bis auf 5,1%/24 Std. Lactoperoxidase baute Aflatoxin G1 1,5 mal schneller ab als Aflatoxin B1. Die Konzentration des Aflatoxins zu Beginn spielte keine Rolle beim Abbau durch, die Lactoperoxidase. Die Abbauprodukte von Aflatoxin B 1 waren chromatografisch dem Aflatoxin B2a ähnlich oder waren wasserlöslich. Gleiche Abbauprodukte, aber in größeren Anteilen, erhielt man durch das Mycel vonAspergillus parasiticus.

Summary

Three concentrations of lactoperoxidase, 5, 50, and 500 units/ml of reaction mixture, degraded aflatoxin in the presence of 225 μM NaCl and 50 μM H202 at 28° C. Increasing the amount of lactoperoxidase from 50 to 500 units/ml of reaction mixture resulted in increasing the rate of degradation of aflatoxin B1 from 3.6 to 5.1%/24 h. When comparable amounts of lactoperoxidase were present, aflatoxin G1 was degraded approximately 1.5 times faster than was aflatoxin 131. At a given concentration of lactoperoxidase, aflatoxin degradation was independent of initial aflatoxin concentration. Derivatives that cochromatographed with aflatoxin B2a and derivatives that were water soluble were the major degradation products of aflatoxin B1. Similar derivatives, but in greater proportions, were noted as degradation products that resulted from activity of a blendure of mycelia ofAspergillus parasiticus.
