*4.1. UV with H2O2*

UV-C is used in combination with H2O2 to degrade aflatoxins in peanuts. It represents an eco-friendly technique leaving no toxic or harmful byproducts, with unique residual compounds limited to water and oxygen. The simultaneous application of these two treatments for 1 h (UV-C: 2.76 mW/cm2—H2O2: 1 g/hg) accelerated the degradation rates of AF in both whole peanut kernels and milled kernels to 30% and 60%, respectively. The advanced oxidative processes (UV and H2O2) affected the quality of the oil in milled kernels and caused the darkening of the whole kernels [128].
