The application discloses a mild
aflatoxin reduction process for food, and belongs to the technical field of
food processing. The mild
aflatoxin reduction process for food comprises the following steps: S1, treating food with
plasma-activated water, and separating / removing the
plasma-activated water; S2, treating the food with
superheated steam again, and cooling, so as to complete the reduction of
aflatoxin in the food. The application first utilizes
active oxygen and
active nitrogen substances to oxidize and destroy the molecular structure of aflatoxin and weaken the
thermal stability of the aflatoxin, and then accelerates the
decomposition and volatilization of degradation products through
superheated steam, so as to finally realize the synergistic reduction. The process of the application not only realizes the efficient reduction of aflatoxin, but also effectively reduces the risks of quality changes such as oil rancidity, texture deterioration and
nutrient loss. The process of the application is suitable for various
food systems such as grains, nuts and oil materials, and has the advantages of high treatment efficiency, wide application range, good quality maintenance effect and no chemical residues.
