Density separation of aflatoxin-contaminated grain or nuts

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Abstract of the Disclosure, Disclosed is a method for separating mycotoxincontaminated grains, kernels, seeds and nuts from uncontarn-, inated whole grain seeds whole or split kernel nuts and, seeds to obtain a substantially uncontaminated supply source of these foods. The separate contaminated source can be further processed to lower the mycotoxin contamination. The process involves the density separation of the mycotoxin or afatoxin-containing materials by floating the aflatoxincontaminated foods in a liquid. A highly preferred process uses dynamic flotation.
