Detoxification of Aflatoxin B1 Contaminated Maize Using Human CYP3A4.

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a mycotoxin produced by (). AFB1 is reported to have high thermal stability and is not decomposed by heat treatment during food processing. Therefore, in this study, knowing that AFB1 is metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP), our aim was to develop a method to detoxify -contaminated maize, under normal temperature and pressure, using expressing human CYP3A4.
