Protective effects of South African plants on mycotoxin-induced mutagenicity and toxicity.

The aim of the project is to evaluate extracts of South African plants as detoxifying agents against the mutagenic effects of mycotoxins using in vitro bioassays. Such plant extracts may be added to feeds and foods as a chemo-preventive measure against the genotoxic effects of mycotoxins, particularly aflatoxins.
