Aflatoxin (AF) is actually a secondary metabolite produced by toxin-producing strains such as Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasitica. A highly toxic substance.

Among the naturally contaminated foods, aflatoxin B1 is the most common and the strongest known a chemical carcinogen.

As early as 1993, the Cancer Research Institute of the World Health Organization had designated aflatoxins as Class I carcinogens.

It is very toxic to humans, and it has obvious damage to the liver, which will easily cause liver parenchyma Necrosis, hepatic fatty infiltration, bile duct epithelial hyperplasia, hepatic hemorrhage and other lesions.

Freezing Can’t eat the steamed buns? Will breed aflatoxin? The doctor tells the truth, let’s find out

There is also a corresponding experiment about this statement. The researchers divided 200 steamed buns into 10 groups, respectively Stored in the refrigerator for different storage days, it was finally found that after three days of frozen storage, there was no problem of mold growth.

Steamed buns that have been stored for more than three days have no mold contamination, but they are different from the original There has been some change in taste.

The water loss is also serious Yes, after reheating, the degree of softness is relatively lowTherefore, it is a rumor that steamed buns stored in the refrigerator for more than three days will easily breed aflatoxin.

The production condition of aflatoxin is 12~42℃, but the temperature of the refrigerator cannot reach such Conditions, in addition to humidity also has a very large requirement for the growth of aflatoxin, the general humidity needs to be kept at around 78%~98%.

Regardless of humidity or temperature, the conditions in the refrigerator are not suitable for aflatoxin to survive, so in general Aflatoxin will not grow in the refrigerator, nor will it cause aflatoxin to grow in the food in the refrigerator.
