Progress in research of detection and detoxification methods for aflatoxin B1 in Semen platyclade
Aspergillus flavus is easy to grow and produce toxin in the process of harvesting, drying, peeling, wind sorting, transportation, and storage of Semen platycladi. This not only seriously affects the quality of Semen platycladi, but also causes carcinogenic, teratogenic, and mutagenic effects. Therefore, there is an urgent need to solve the problem of Aspergillus flavus pollution. In order to strengthen the standardized storage management of oily traditional Chinese medicines such as Semen platycladi, this paper reviews the detection and detoxification methods for aflatoxin B1, and proposes that the application of immunosensors has the advantages of fast detection, high sensitivity, high specificity, and automation. The biological detoxification method is more efficient and environmentally friendly, and the degradation of the fermentation broth without toxins can effectively remove the accumulated mycotoxins. Natural plant volatile oils also have an inhibitory effect on the growth of Aspergillus flavus and the synthesis of aflatoxin B1.
