Four oilseeds providing cocoa-butter substitutes--shea, pentadecima, illipe, and salseed--when tested as substrates for aflatoxin production by two strains of Aspergillus parasiticus, gave varying levels of aflatoxin. Aflatoxins were found at low levels occurring naturally in moldy shea-nuts, but none of 21 commercial shea-nut samples contained greater than 20 micrograms of aflatoxin B1 per kg.
四种提供可可脂替代品的油籽——乳木果、十五碳木、伊利普和萨尔籽——在被两株寄生曲霉用作黄曲霉毒素产生的底物进行测试时,产生了不同水平的黄曲霉毒素。在发霉的乳木果中天然存在低水平的黄曲霉毒素,但21个商业乳木果样品中,每千克含有的黄曲霉毒素B1均不超过20微克。
