In Vitro Aflatoxin B Binding by the Cell Wall and (1→3)-β-d-Glucan of Baker's Yeast.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of heat-killed baker's yeast (HKBY), the cell wall of baker's yeast (CWBY), and cell wall (1→3)-β-d-glucan of baker's yeast (BGBY) to bind aflatoxin B (AFB) in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) spiked with 0.5 μg/mL AFB. Baker's yeast ( Saccharomyces cerevisiae) was heat killed by autoclaving at 121°C for 10 min.
