Use of cationic surfactants for the inactivation of toxins

Use of a cationic Surfactant for the deactivation of endotoxins in food products and beverages

Abstract

This invention relates to a use of a composition for the inactivation of toxins containing cationic surfactants such as ethyl-Nα-lauroyl-L-arginate HCI (LAE). It has been found that cationic surfactants such as ethyl-Nα-lauroyl-L-arginate HCI (LAE) and its salts are effective against endotoxins, exotoxins and aflatoxins.
