To protect consumers from illnesses caused by Aflatoxins, there are statutory limits in the European Union for Aflatoxin B1 (2 ppb), as well as for the overall amount of Aflatoxins (4 ppb). https://doi.org/10.1023/A:1015259518448. The cytochrome p-450 present in the liver activates AFB1 which is then converted into AFB1 8,9-epoxide. Various physical, chemical, biological, and nano-particles based approaches are used for minimizing and management of aflatoxin in food crops.

Issue Section: Food Chemical Contaminants In groundnut cake, aflatoxin production by A. flavus was also foreclosed by certain week acids such as citric acid, propionic acid, acetic acid, and sorbic acid at several concentrations like 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1% (Verma et al. World Mycotoxin Journal, 11(2), 187199. 2005). Aflatoxin determination based on immunoassay technique requires extraction using mixture of methanol-water (8 + 2 v/v) [ 48, 51] because methanol has less negative effect on antibodies compared to other organic solvents such as acetone and acetonitrile.

Lipids in Aspergillus flavus-maize interaction. Article Food Control, 34(1), 3134. Aflatoxins (AFs) are a group of highly toxic secondary metabolites produced mainly by the filamentous fungi Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus and rarely by other species such as Aspergillus nomius in agricultural products and derived food products. Mold incidence and mycotoxin contamination in freshly harvested maize kernels originated from India. Wang, Li, et al. A review of aflatoxins reduction in food.

To minimize the aflatoxins contamination in crop plants, various physical, chemical, and biological methods and various breeding and genetic engineering approach has been used to minimize the toxicity of aflatoxin and reduce its level below the recommended one. Lai, X., Liu, R., Ruan, C., Zhang, H., & Liu, C. (2015). Large doses of aflatoxins lead to direct death and damage, while small longstanding doses lead to immunologic or nutritional effects, but both types of doses lead to liver cancer due to the accumulation of aflatoxin (Marroqun-Cardona et al. Aflatoxin occurrence in nuts and commercial nutty products in Malaysia. (2015). 2014). A., & Khan, N. A. Tropical Biology and Conservation Management, 7, 6084. However, due to the bad image quality of VNIR, some recent studies focused on the combined use of the HSI technique with chemometric data analysis that resulted in better identification of AFB1 on the surface of maize kernels (Kimuli et al. The amount of aflatoxin production mainly depends on types of fungi; insects wound in the plant cause stress and provide the site for aflatoxigenic fungi for contamination (Kinyungu 2019). 2009). Shu, X., Wang, Y., Zhou, Q., Li, M., Hu, H., Ma, Y., & Wu, L. (2018).

Correspondence to Azole fungicides are also used as a tool to control fungus growth and aflatoxin production with prochloraz being more effective than tebuconazole (Mateo et al. Google Scholar. BioMed Research International. Aptamer-based molecular assays are also used for instant detection of aflatoxin in some beverages like wine and certain food crops (Wang et al. The European Union (EU) has the most rigorous regulations concerning mycotoxins in food. (2017). Aflatoxin is a primary hepatic carcinogen that could induce formation of carcinoma in liver (Pestka et al. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2016.08.019. Analytical Chemistry, 89(21), 1152011528. Electrochemical enzyme-linked oligonucleotide array for aflatoxin B1 detection. Journal of Biosciences, 40(5), 943954. Food and feed like corn, rice, spices, dried fruits, nuts, and figs are mostly contaminated by aflatoxins (Martinez-Miranda et al. TRFICA and PD-IPCR provides a detection limit of 0.05 ng/mL and 0.0.03 ng/mL respectively for aflatoxins. including Aspergillus, Penicillium, Fusarium, and Alternaria but Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus are known to produce the most toxigenic strains of aflatoxins. Mycotoxin Research, 31(1), 5762. Consumption of foods and feeds contaminated by aflatoxins are hazardous to human and animal health, hence the detection and quantification of aflatoxins in foods and feeds is a priority from the viewpoint of food safety. 2016). This study has implications for planning an integrated approach for management of aflatoxin contamination in food in sub-Saharan Africa. Some food additives are also used for the inhibition of fungal growth and aflatoxin production in combination with some physical factors like temperature and moisture. Embaby, E., & Hassan, M. K. (2015). Aflatoxins suppress the immune systems of humans and animals by interfering with the fickleness of those cells which are responsible to boost immunity. (2013). Comparison of nutritional composition (moisture, ash, crude protein, nitrogen) and safety (aflatoxin, nitrate/nitrite) of organic and conventional rice and lentil samples consumed in Ankara.

Visible/Near-Infrared technique (VNIR) is also used for the detection of toxin contamination. Aflatoxins along with zearalenone were simultaneously detected through the use of Time-Resolved Fluorescence Immuno-Chromatographic Assay (TRFICA) (Tang et al. Magembe, K. S., Mwatawala, M. W., Mamiro, D. P., & Chingonikaya, E. E. (2016). A recent method also detects aflatoxins and fumonisins (a group of mycotoxins derived from Fusarium spp.) In A. Mendez-Vilas (Ed. To maintain food safety and to prevent aflatoxin contamination in food crops, combined approaches of using resistant varieties along with recommended farming practices should be followed. Aflatoxin contamination in foods and animal feeds is of global concern due to their potential toxicity, mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, teratogenicity, neurotoxicity and immunosuppressiveness. Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), as the main metabolite, found in aflatoxin contaminated food is highly toxic and strictly controlled in many countries.

Normally at high temperatures, AFB production is high than AFG, but at low temperatures both AFB and AFG production is equal (Matumba et al. The current review provides insight into the sources of contamination, occurrence, detection techniques, and masked mycotoxin, in addition to management strategies of aflatoxins to ensure food safety and security.

Aflatoxin is a type of mold that is considered a human carcinogen. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tifs.2014.12.001. Peng, W. X., Marchal, J. L. M., & Van der Poel, A. F. B. Abstract Aflatoxins are mycotoxins produced by some fungi found on agricultural crops like peanuts, cottonseed, tree nuts, and maize (corn). (2021). Aspergillus flavus poses an excellent survival capability to grow on a wide range of temperatures ranging from 12C to 48C, but 28C to 37C is the optimum temperature range for its growth (Hawkins et al. Talanta, 203, 4957. 2015). Unfortunately, there are some limitations associated with the above-mentioned techniques including their fulsomeness, required high technical skills, and time consumption. Lippolis, V., Irurhe, O., Porricelli, A. C. R., Cortese, M., Schena, R., Imafidon, T., & Pascale, M. (2017). International Journal of Food Microbiology, 237, 8391.

Consequently, genes detected during molecular screening of A. flavus, responsible for Aflatoxin biosynthesis were used as a target gene to find out Aflatoxin by using multiplex PCR. Aflatoxin AOAC 2019 - Free download as PDF File (.pdf) or read online for free. Awuah, R. T., & Ellis, W. O. Pre-harvest contaminations of field crops are common because of the natural existence of A. flavus in soil, while post-harvest contamination also occurred by A. flavus during storage because it spoils the food grains. Aflatoxin production can also be inhibited by the ammoniation process in corn and other food commodities (Karlovsky et al. 2. World Mycotoxin Journal, 10(1), 6371.
