    Abstract Current investigation has shown that human exposure to aflatoxins is not limited to the administration of contaminated cereals, but water is another possible source. This study was aimed to design easily applicable method to eliminate aflatoxin B2 (AFB2) from contaminated drinking water. Electrospinning has been used for preparation of probiotic-coated polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and cellulose acetate (CA) nanofibers. Both of these hybrid nanofibers were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). SEM showed the proper coating of probiotic strains (Kluyveromyces lactis CBS 2359 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 9763) on both nanofiber… More >
