Four samples of corn were compared with respect to their hepatocarcinogenicity in rainbow trout. One corn sample was found by chemical analysis to contain no detectable aflatoxin. A second sample was contaminated with aflatoxins at a level of 180 microgram/kg. Each of the above-mentioned samples was divided, and one-half of each was ammoniated. These four samples were added to a semipurified basal diet and fed to a sensitive strain of rainbow trout. It was found that ammoniation inactivated the aflatoxins and reduced the carcinogenicity of the contaminated corn to a level that was not significantly different from that with the basal control diet. It was also found that the ammoniation process did not reduce the nutritive value of the corn.
对四个玉米样本在虹鳟鱼中的致癌性进行了比较。通过化学分析发现，一个玉米样本中未检测到黄曲霉毒素。第二个样本被黄曲霉毒素污染，污染水平为180微克/千克。将上述每个样本进行分割，各取一半进行氨化处理。将这四个样本添加到半纯化基础饲料中，喂给敏感品系的虹鳟鱼。结果发现，氨化处理使黄曲霉毒素失活，并将受污染玉米的致癌性降低到与基础对照饲料无显著差异的水平。还发现氨化过程并未降低玉米的营养价值。
