概括
X射线照射有效地减少了玉米中可行的Aspergillus flavus子,玉米是一种常见的粮食作物污染物. 这种方法可以杀菌真菌污染,而不会改变亚毒素B1 (AFB1) 水平,这对于安全的真菌毒素研究至关重要.
科学领域:
- 食品安全 食品安全
- 菌类学 菌类学是指菌类学.
- 辐射灭菌的辐射灭菌方法
背景情况:
- 在全球范围内,粮食作物面临着由Aspergillus flavus的污染,这种真菌产生致癌性亚毒素B1 (AFB1).
- 对AFB1进行准确的实验室研究需要方法来管理真菌污染而不改变毒素水平.
研究的目的:
- 在实验室环境中评估X射线照射作为AFB1污染的玉米样本的灭菌技术.
- 为了确定不同X射线剂量对可活性Aspergillus flavus和AFB1度的影响.
主要方法:
- 自然被AFB1污染的玉米被碎,并以0.0到3.0kGy的剂量进行X射线照射.
- 使用稀释涂层 (PDA,MDRB) 评估了Aspergillus flavus的活力,并通过qPCR量化基因存在.
- 使用高性能液体染色学 (HPLC) 和酶相关免疫吸收试验 (ELISA) 测量AFB1度.
主要成果:
- 增加X射线剂量显著降低了Aspergillus flavus的活力 (PDA和MDRB的p < 0.001;qPCR的p = 0.026).
- 在玉米样本中,X射线照射并没有显著改变AFB1度 (p=0.153对于HPLC;p=0.567对于ELISA).
结论:
- X射线照射有效地减少了受污染的玉米中可行的Aspergillus flavus子.
- 这种灭菌方法保持了AFB1度,使得对真菌毒素挑战的研究更安全,更可重复.

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy: Lab
For AAS measurements, samples must be introduced as clear solutions, often requiring extensive preliminary treatment to dissolve materials like soils, animal tissues, and minerals. Common methods for sample preparation include treatment with hot mineral acids, wet ashing, combustion in closed containers, high-temperature ashing, or fusion with reagents.
Solutions containing organic solvents, such as low-molecular-mass alcohols, esters, or ketones, enhance absorbances by increasing nebulizer...

Atomic Fluorescence Spectroscopy
Atomic fluorescence spectroscopy (AFS) is an analytical technique that involves the electronic transitions of atoms in a flame, furnace, or plasma being excited by electromagnetic (EM) radiation. When these atoms absorb energy, they become excited and subsequently release energy as they return to their original state. This emitted light, or "fluorescence," is observed at a right angle to the incident beam. Both absorption and emission processes transpire at distinct wavelengths, which are...
