Radiations and biodegradation techniques for detoxifying Carica papaya seed oil for effective dietary and industrial use
Benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC) is toxic in high concentration. The capacity of Aspergillus niger, microwave and ultraviolet radiations to reduce the BITC levels in Carica papaya Linn seed oil were assessed in vitro. BITC at different concentrations were periodically exposed to microwave and ultraviolet radiations for 30 minutes and 10 hours, respectively; and to identify Aspergillus niger for...
