Heat might remove ergot alkaloids * 1
    #27754631 - 04/28/22 07:35 AM (2 years, 21 days ago)

A chemistry topic but I think it has a strong relevance to this community. I pose the question, could an ergot-contaminated food be rendered safe to eat?

"A large amount of the original peptide alkaloids was lost during brewing and is believed to have resulted from thermal degradation. This was investigated further by treating aqueous extracts of sclerotia (pH 5.0) at 45, 70, and 100°C for 1 hr. Losses of up to 46% of the original peptide alkaloids were observed after I hr at 100°C."

Obviously a loss of 46% of alkaloids does not render it safe, but it was only heated an hour. Would longer heating completely remove the alkaloids?
