Abstract

Aflatoxins are secondary metabolite compound produced by fungus Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus nomius and Aspergillus parasiticus. Aflatoxin degraded by the extract of Eucalyptus camaldulensis. The extract leaf of Eucalyptus Camaldulensis analyzed for determination of antioxidant and degradation of aflatoxin. The identification and quantification degaradation of aflatoxin analyzed by Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) and High Performance Liquid Chromatography techniques (HPLC) respectively. In this research, the mean values of water, Acetone, Hexane and Methanol extract of  DPPH,  FRAP and TPC  were (13.41 %, 58.51%, and 27.72%), (68 mg GAE /100g, 466.5 mg GAE /100g, 180 mg GAE /100g, and 450 mg GAE /100g) and (268.78 mg GAE /100g, 269.88 mg GAE /100g, 68.22 mg GAE /100g  and  276 mg GAE /100g) respectively. The mean of degaradation AFB1, AFB2, AFG1, AFG2 and TAF) were 3.05±0.29 µg/kg, 2.15±0.17 µg/kg, 4.21±0.25 µg/kg, 2.88±0.20 µg/kg and 12.29±0.09µg/kg respectively. The removal % of total Aflatoxin by Eucalyptus camaldulensis was 95.08 %.
