Aflatoxin adsorbent

Aflatoxins are toxic compounds produced by certain molds, primarily Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. These mycotoxins can contaminate a variety of food and feed products, posing a significant health risk to both humans and animals.
One of the strategies to mitigate the health risks associated with aflatoxin contamination is the use of aflatoxin adsorbents. Aflatoxin adsorbents are substances or compounds that can bind to aflatoxins, reducing their bioavailability and preventing them from being absorbed in the digestive tract. Here are some common aflatoxin adsorbents and their mechanisms of action:
Activated carbon is often used as an aflatoxin adsorbent. It works by adsorbing aflatoxins onto its porous surface, preventing their absorption in the gut.
Bentonite clay can bind aflatoxins due to its high adsorption capacity. It forms a complex with aflatoxins, preventing their absorption in the gastrointestinal tract.
Calcium bentonite clay is particularly effective in adsorbing aflatoxins and reducing their bioavailability.
Zeolites are crystalline aluminosilicate minerals that can adsorb aflatoxins due to their porous structure.
Some natural polysaccharides, like chitosan, have been studied for their ability to adsorb aflatoxins.
Commercially available mycotoxin binders often contain a combination of various adsorbents to target different types of mycotoxins, including aflatoxins.
It's important to note that the effectiveness of aflatoxin adsorbents can vary based on factors such as the specific adsorbent used, the aflatoxin contamination level, and the type of food or feedstuff involved. Additionally, the application of adsorbents should be done in accordance with regulatory guidelines and recommendations to ensure food safety.
