AFLATOXINS IN FOOD GRAINS: CONTAMINATION, DANGERS AND CONTROL In this review, there is a summary of current information on the prevalence, sources, risk factors, detection, and public health effect of aflatoxin contamination of vegetables in Nigeria
Comprehensive review of aflatoxin contamination, its occurrence . . . This review aims to examine the prevalence and sources of aflatoxin contamination in food and feed, assess its toxicological impacts on human and animal health, and analyze current detection and control strategies
Aflatoxin Contamination in Agri-Food Systems: A Comprehensive Review of . . . Aflatoxins (AFs) are highly toxic and carcinogenic secondary metabolites produced mainly by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus, posing serious threats to global food safety, public health, and agricultural economies, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions
Aflatoxin contamination in food crops: causes, detection, and . . . Aflatoxin contamination occurs in a wide range of regional crops and food commodities Food and feed like corn, rice, spices, dried fruits, nuts, and figs are mostly contaminated by aflatoxins (Martinez-Miranda et al 2019)
Aflatoxins: global insights on occurrence, health risks, regulations . . . This review synthesises current evidence on aflatoxin chemistry, drivers of occurrence, health effects (with emphasis on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)), economic and trade consequences, regulatory variation, and integrated control strategies
Understanding Aflatoxins and Their Impact on Grain Quality Aflatoxins are a significant threat to grain quality and food safety, especially in regions with warm and humid climates like Africa These naturally occurring toxins, produced by certain molds, pose serious risks to both human health and agricultural productivity
