Aflatoxin B1: Challenges and Strategies for the Intestinal Microbiota and Intestinal Health of Monogastric Animals by Hyunjun Choi, Yesid Garavito-Duarte, Alexa R. Gormley, Sung Woo Kim

“…Mycotoxin-detoxifying agents include mycotoxin-adsorbing agents, such as clay and yeast cell wall compounds, binding to AFB₁ and mycotoxin-biotransforming agents, such as specific strains of <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> and mycotoxin-degrading enzyme, degrading AFB₁ into non-toxic metabolites such as aflatoxin D1. Multiple mycotoxin-detoxifying agents are often combined and used together to improve the intestinal health and growth of chickens and pigs fed AFB₁-contaminated feeds. …”

Potential Antioxidant Activity of New Tetracyclic and Pentacyclic Nonlinear Phenothiazine Derivatives by Godwill Azeh Engwa, Eugene Lekem Ayuk, Benardeth Ujunwa Igbojekwe, Marcellus Unaegbu

“…The results suggest that phenothiazine derivatives, especially 6-chloro-11-azabenzo[a]phenothiazine-5-one, possess antioxidant activity though 6-[4-bromophenyl]-10-methyl-11-azabenzo[a]phenothiazine-5-one was slightly toxic. This activity may be due to the presence of electron donors such as sulfur as well as the richness of hydrogen in the additional benzene rings for substitution. …”

Effect of Microwave Heat Processing on Nutritional Indices, Antinutrients, and Sensory Attributes of Potato Powder-Supplemented Flatbread by Muhammad Waseem, Saeed Akhtar, Nazir Ahmad, Tariq Ismail, Claudia E. Lazarte, Majid Hussain, Muhammad Faisal Manzoor

“…Microwave heating of potato powder was observed to reduce the load of alkaloids, oxalates, tannins, and phytates of the raw potato powder at the rate of 76%, 80%, 84%, and 82%, respectively, thus anticipating a promising response to minimize toxicant load in supplemented flatbread. Supplementing potato powder in SGF elucidated significant (p<0.05) improvement in color values, i.e., a∗ (1.89–2.32) and b∗ (10.95–13.22), and increased product hardness from 3.17 to 7.9 N. …”
