Abstract: UV, ultra-high pressure, microwave and NaCl treatments were used to remove aflatoxin B1 and fumonisin B1 in purple corn. HPLC method was applied to determine the contents of aflatoxin B1 and fumonisin B1. Results indicated that UV and ultra-high pressure treatments had no effect on the two toxins; microwave treatment could remove more than 90% of toxins in 12 minutes, while 30% NaCl soaking could remove 99% of toxins in 10 minutes. Therefore, NaCl soaking is a simple and economic method for detoxication.

Key words: purple corn, fumonisin B1, aflatoxin B1, detoxication
