Caffeine, riboflavin and curcumin amended clays for PFAS binding.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are usually found in mixtures with other toxic compounds. Therefore, the study and design of broad acting sorbents, such as clays, is an attractive sorption solution. We previously demonstrated that clays amended with choline and carnitine could enhance PFAS sorption properties.

Adsorption of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances by Edible Nutraceutical-Amended Montmorillonite Clays: In Vitro, In Vivo and In Silico Enterosorption Strategies.

Unlabelled: Exposure of animals and humans to PFAS through contaminated water and foods pose significant threats to public health. To tackle this challenge, this study aimed to develop edible clays that might enhance the binding, detoxification, and elimination of PFAS in the gastrointestinal tract. Montmorillonite clays (CM) were amended with caffeine (CMCAF), curcumin (CMCUR), and riboflavin (CMRIB), and the binding efficacy for a mixture of four PFAS (PFOS, GenX, PFOA and PFBS) was determined.

Green-Engineered Montmorillonite Clays for the Adsorption, Detoxification, and Mitigation of Aflatoxin B1 Toxicity.

Dietary and environmental exposure to aflatoxins via contaminated food items can pose major health challenges to both humans and animals. Studies have reported the coexistence of aflatoxins and other environmental toxins. This emphasizes the urgent need for efficient and effective mitigation strategies for aflatoxins.
