Adsorptive removal of aflatoxin B1 from simulated animal gastrointestinal tract using sugarcane bagasse fly ash

Mycotoxins released by fungi present in animal feed feedstocks can lead to severe health problems in animals. In this work, we investigated the use of a low-cost agro-industrial waste produced in ethanol mills, the sugarcane bagasse fly ash (BFA), as an effective adsorbent for the removal of aflatox...

Description
Summary:Mycotoxins released by fungi present in animal feed feedstocks can lead to severe health problems in animals. In this work, we investigated the use of a low-cost agro-industrial waste produced in ethanol mills, the sugarcane bagasse fly ash (BFA), as an effective adsorbent for the removal of aflatoxin B 1 (a model mycotoxin) from buffer solutions simulating the animal gastrointestinal tract. The results revealed that BFA could rapidly (
