Aflatoxins were reduced by up to 94% using CL, a Haitian
spirit containing 50% ethanol that is obtainable even in remote
regions of Haiti where laboratory-grade solvents are unavailable or
too costly. After oil pressing and extraction, our data indicate that,
on average across a broad range of contamination rates, peanut oil
can be produced with only 0.5% of the aflatoxin concentrations
found in the peanuts before pressing.
