Abstract

Aflatoxins are toxic metabolities produced by certain fungi in/on foods and feeds. They are the best known and most intensively researched mycotoxins. The occurrence of Aflatoxins is influenced by certain environmental factors; hence the extent of contamination varies with geographic location, agricultural and agronomic practices, and the susceptibility of commodities of fungal invasion during pre-harvest, storage and/or processing periods. Aflatoxins have received greater attention than any other mycotoxins because of their demonstrated potent carcinogenic effect in susceptible laboratory animals and their acute toxicological effects in humans.
