Abstract:
An investigation into the breakdown of aflatoxins during the hydrolysis of artificially contaminated vegetable protein was conducted using a laboratory scale reactor. The conditions were selected to emulate a commercial process used to produce a protein hydrolysate used in processed food and soup ingredients. Chromatographic analysis showed that aflatoxins at relatively high concentration are totally destroyed and removed from the product. Residues from extracts were free of mutagenic properties, as monitored by the Ames test.

Dot Product
In engineering, the dot product of any two vectors is the product of the magnitudes of the vectors and the cosine of the angle between them. It is denoted by a dot symbol between the two vectors.
Consider a vehicle pulling an object along the ground using a rope. If the rope makes an angle with the horizontal axis, the work done can be calculated using the dot product of the force applied and the object's displacement.
The dot...
