| Title: |
A Method and A Device for The Degradation of Aflatoxins Using Vacuum Ultraviolet Radiation |
| Description: |
The present invention relates to methods for destroying aflatoxins by irradiating the contaminated material with the VUV photons in the range of wavelengths from 100 to 170 nm. The irradiation is preferably performed upon vacuum conditions to enable rapid desorption of the low-weight residues formed upon bond scission in aflatoxins by VUV radiation. The methods of the invention are useful for the detoxification of food or feedstock. |
