Mycotoxins in Foodstuffs. XI. Fate of Aflatoxin B1 During Preparation and Baking of Whole- Meal Wheat Bread.

The fate of aflatoxin B1 in baking was investigated by adding the crystalline toxin to the dough of whole- meal wheat bread (54% whole-meal wheat, 2% yeast, 1% sodium chloride, 43% water) at levels of 10.8 and 5.4 microg/g. About 10-20% of the added toxin was found in the final dough. Subsequent baking (120 C, 30 min.) did not reduce the amount of the aflatoxin B1.
