What is aflatoxin? Aflatoxin is listed as a kind of carcinogen by social group cancer research platform, and it is also a toxic chemical with strong toxic side effects. Aflatoxin B 1 is common in pure natural contaminated food, and its toxic and side effects are also the strongest.
Aflatoxin mainly appears in soil, animals and plants, and all kinds of nuts, especially peanuts, corn, rice, soybeans, wheat and other cereals, oils and foods, which are extremely polluted.
The toxic and side effects of aflatoxin are 68 times greater than poison, second only to needle surface toxin. It is reported that the adverse effects of aflatoxin depend on its destructive effect on human society and food institutions in protein, which can cause early liver cancer and even death in severe cases. Therefore, don't eat all kinds of moldy peanuts, corn and other foods.
Frozen steamed bread can't be eaten? Aflatoxin will breed if it is stored for more than 3 days. Is that really the case? For many people in Northeast China, the most common staple food is steamed bread. Because steamed bread is eaten every day, it is usually steamed a lot at a time. When it is left, it will be put in the refrigerator, and then it will be taken out for heating when eating. But now some people on the internet say that frozen steamed bread can't be eaten, which is likely to breed aflatoxin. Is that a rumor or a real science?
This kind of steamed bread was tested for aflatoxin. The results showed that steamed bread stored for more than three days did not produce aflatoxin, but the color and taste of steamed bread changed, and water and nutrients lost a lot. Moreover, even if steamed bread was stored in the refrigerator for 10 days, all aflatoxins did not appear in it. Because the development environment temperature of aflatoxin is 10~33℃ and the refrigerator temperature is about 0℃, it is not suitable for the growth and development of aflatoxin at this temperature.
Although there is no aflatoxin in steamed bread during storage, there are other molds, which cause the surface of steamed bread to be hairy and green. So it is best not to take this kind of steamed bread, and not only steamed bread is stored in the refrigerator, but also other foods will continue to be stored. If fungal infection occurs, eating steamed bread by mistake will also have adverse effects on physical and mental health in the future.
Therefore, in the case of steaming or buying steamed bread, the best food should be cooked as much as possible, and the steamed bread should not be stored in the refrigerator for more than three days, otherwise the taste will drop and many nutrients will be lost. When storing steamed bread, it is best to wrap it in a film bag, so as not to touch the germs in the refrigerator.
Which foods are very susceptible to aflatoxin contamination? 1, peanuts and other nuts
The content of aflatoxin in dried fruits such as peanuts, walnuts and sunflower seeds is high. A good friend who loves nuts must spit it out as soon as he tastes bitter nuts.
2. Milk and other dairy products
20 1 1, aflatoxin in a batch of dairy products exceeded the standard. The key factor is that dairy cows eat food crops with too much aflatoxin, which promotes a small amount of endotoxin to be transferred to milk.
3. Edible oil
Oil crops such as peanuts and corn are easily contaminated by aflatoxin, so if you use moldy peanuts and corn to extract oil, it is easy to cause edible oil pollution. Never go to a small workshop to extract oil yourself.
In fact, except aflatoxin, other US troops are harmful to health, so it is best to throw away some moldy and rotten vegetables and fruits, and don't be afraid to waste them. Even if the moldy place is thrown away and only the rest looks good, it is easy to cause the body to be infected by mold, because mold has already penetrated into food further.
