In previous studies with aflatoxin – contaminated corn an unchracteristic response for AFB1 in the Salmonella/microsomal mutagenicity assay (Ames test) was observed and the presence o anti – aflatoxin factors in the corn was suggested. In the current study, corn was extracted and fractionated using TLC, and the Ames test was used to monitor for anti – mutagenic activity in the corn fractions. Several corn fractions, at diferent stages in the isolation and purification process, showed anti- mutagenic dose responses when exposed to pure AFB1.
