Study on the Effect of Mold Detoxification by Lactic Acid Bacteria

The toxin binding ability of eight strains of lactic acid bacteria for aflatoxin Bl wel-e studied.Lactic acid bacteria wel-emixed with aflatoxin B1 and incubated at 37℃ for 60 mins and for 120 mins.The toxin binding ability of the lactic acid bacteria ranged between 4%~50%.Among the lactic acid bacteria studied.L.casei subsp.cacei CGMCC 1.539 demonstrated a sigacantly high aflatoxin binding ability than other strains.However,chloroform extracts of binding aflatoxin B1exhibited mutagenic effect.Lactic acid bacteria had the effect on binding aflatoxin B1,and Ames test showed that binding aflatoxin B1 exhibited mutagenic effect.Lactic acid bacteria had the effect on binding aflatoxin B1.
