Effect of Solvent on Aflatoxin Content in Extracts of Virginia Type Peanut Skins

Abstract

Abstract:Antimicrobial resistance of pathogenic bacteria is a growing public health problem. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) represents a significant burden on healthcare services because it is involved in severe difficult to treat infections in humans. Several non-antibiotic approaches regarding the treatment of infections caused by MRSA as well as of other resistant bacteria have been studied. Since ancient times royal jelly and honey have been considered both as foods and medicines, and recently have been identified as potential alternative medicines to treat bacterial infections, especially of the skin and soft tissue. The aim of the present study was to investigate the antibacterial effect of honey, royal jelly and their mixtures against MRSA in vitro. At least 3 decimal reductions of MRSA count were observed in Tryptone Soy broth with concentrations of 40% rape honey (RP), 20% and 30% royal jelly (RJ), 30% RJ:RH (1:100). In general, honey and royal jelly, individually or in combination, appeared to have a potential as alternative therapeutic agents against MRSA infections, but clinical studies are needed for confirmation.

Adverse Effects, Transformation and Channeling of Aflatoxins Into Food Raw Materials in Livestock

“…The suspension retains the aflatoxin molecules what can be eluted cleanly, free from any disturbing compounds (Borbély et al, 2010;Lai et al, 2014). Another intention is the extraction with different solvents such as carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4 ), chlorobenzene (C 6 H 5 Cl), chloroform (CHCl 3 ), and dichloromethane (CH 2 Cl 2 ), methanol and acetonitrile (Sepherd, 2009;Bertuzzi et al, 2012;Sarnoski et al, 2015).…”
