A kinetic model of the aflatoxins B1conversion was plotted and validated successfully in the aflatoxin B1-contaminated rice during thermaltreatments. Specifically, the kinetic Model A and Model B of the aflatoxin B1conversion were plotted based on the differential-scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis, respectively, with the pure aflatoxin B1. In succession, Model A and Model B were validated in the aflatoxin B1-contaminated corn, rice, and peanut during thermaltreatments. Model A successfully simulated the conversion of aflatoxin B1 in the aflatoxin B1-contaminated rice with the correlation coefficients of 0.859 and average-absolute deviation of 6.61. The activation energy and conversion order of the aflatoxin B1conversion were 89.0 kJ/mol and 0.12, respectively. Moreover, the relationships between the conversion degree and time vs temperature were plotted based on Model A. These plots would help to predict the final content of aflatoxin B1 after thermaltreatments, and give an instruction to develop a food processing.
