Patient's question:
I noticed that some things will mold if left for too long. I heard this is Aspergillus flavus. I want to know how to kill Aspergillus flavus if food develops it?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if you find mold on food, it is likely to be Aspergillus flavus. Such food is not edible. We can observe feed and grains visually and by smell to determine contamination, and remove severely contaminated items. Radiation methods such as ultraviolet or gamma rays can effectively kill mold and break down the chemical structure of aflatoxin to achieve detoxification. High temperatures can kill Aspergillus flavus but cannot destroy aflatoxin, which is a carcinogenic substance.
