Uses
Aflatoxin G2 does not have any direct applications due to its toxic nature. However, it is important to be aware of its presence in food products and take necessary precautions to prevent contamination and exposure. The detection and monitoring of aflatoxin levels in food products are crucial to ensure food safety and protect public health. Various analytical methods, such as chromatography and immunoassays, are employed to detect and quantify aflatoxin levels in food samples. Additionally, research is being conducted to develop strategies for reducing aflatoxin contamination in crops and food products, such as using resistant crop varieties, proper storage conditions, and biological control agents.
Air & Water Reactions
Slightly water soluble
Reactivity Profile
AFLATOXIN G2 is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, strong acids and strong bases.
Health Hazard
ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: AFLATOXIN G2 is extremely toxic. Ingestion of even microgram quantities can cause toxic affects and, possibly, death. It can also be absorbed through the skin. Allow only your most experienced personnel to work with AFLATOXIN G2. All non-essential personnel should leave the laboratory.
Fire Hazard
Flash point data for AFLATOXIN G2 are not available. AFLATOXIN G2 is probably combustible.
Incompatibilities
Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 7241-98-7 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 7,2,4 and 1 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 9 and 8 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 7241-98:
(6*7)+(5*2)+(4*4)+(3*1)+(2*9)+(1*8)=97
97 % 10 = 7
So 7241-98-7 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Kinetic and mechanistic investigations on reductions of aflatoxins by lactic acid
Shukla, Ram S.,Verma, Ramtej J.,Mehta, Daxa N.
, p. 2737 - 2741 (2007/10/03)
The kinetics of reduction of AFB1 to AFB2 and AFG1 to AFG2 by lactic acid has been investigated in dilute aqueous acidic solutions (pH 3.35-4.50) as a function of the concentrations of lactic acid, AFB1, AFG1 and hydrogen ion at 37°C. The rate of the reaction was found to be first order with respect to the concentrations of lactic acid and aflatoxins and independent on hydrogen ion concentration. The experimental results are interpreted in terms of mechanisms involving an initial formation of transient oxonium intermediate, which tends to polarize the olefinic (C=C) carbon, which in turn causes the hydride abstraction from α-carbon atom of lactic acid in rate determining step. The proposed mechanisms involve an overall transfer of two protons and two electrons from lactic acid to AFB1 and AFG1 to give the corresponding reduced less toxic products AFB2 and AFG2 and the oxidised product pyruvic acid.
