Can baking soda kill aflatoxin? Can eating alkali kill aflatoxin?



Video content:

Aflatoxin is a toxic substance secreted by Aspergillus flavus, which has a serious impact on human health. The properties of aflatoxin are very stable, not easy to destroy, and insoluble in water. The general high-temperature heating, washing, and sun exposure cannot effectively remove aflatoxin.

The main ingredient of baking soda is NaHCO3, and edible alkali is a mixture of Na2CO3 and NaHCO3. The highest pH of the baking soda solution is about 8.5. The highest pH of edible alkali solution is less than 11. Both are weakly alkaline.

Aflatoxin is not tolerant to alkaline environments and will begin to decompose when the pH is greater than 9 to 10. Therefore, baking soda and edible alkali have a certain destructive effect on aflatoxin, but the effect is relatively limited. Daily use baking soda or edible alkali to reduce the toxicity of aflatoxin.
