Synthesized by the secondary metabolic pathway in Aspergilli, aflatoxins (AFs) cause
economic and health issues and are culpable for serious harmful health and economic …

Mycotoxin, as one of the most common pollutants in animal feeds, is harmful and
widespread, which has severely restricted the healthy development of livestock and feed …

BACKGROUND The present study aimed to investigate the occurrence of multiple toxic
fungal and bacterial metabolites in 156 animal feed (n= 77) and maize (n= 79) samples …

Our study evaluated aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) levels in packed rice marketed in Lebanon and
determined the exposure to this toxin from rice consumption. A total of 105 packed white …

Aflatoxins are fungal secondary metabolites that contaminate dietary staples worldwide,
including maize, rice and groundnuts. Dietary exposure to aflatoxins is a public health …

A study was carried out to assess levels of contamination of aflatoxins and fumonisins (B 1+
B 2) in maize produced, stored and consumed in rural households in Malawi. A total of 9 …

Maize is frequently contaminated with multiple mycotoxins, especially those produced by
Aspergillus flavus and Fusarium verticillioides. As mycotoxin contamination is a critical factor …

Current detection methods for contamination of aflatoxin and fumonisin used in the corn
industry are based on bulk level. However, literature demonstrates that contamination of …

This survey was conducted to investigate the contamination by multiple mycotoxins,
aflatoxins (AFB1, AFB2, AFG1, and AFG2), ochratoxin A (OTA), and zearalenone (ZEA) in 61 …

Since the discovery of aflatoxins in the 1960s, knowledge in the mycotoxin research field
has increased dramatically. Hundreds of review articles have been published summarizing …
