aflatoxin

The directorate attributed the decline to a standoff between Pakistan and Kenya over suspected aflatoxin in local tea, a move that slowed buyers from making huge purchases due to uncertainties.

The researchers determined the extent of aflatoxin degradation in aflatoxin-inoculated peanuts after treating the samples at three distances--5 cm, 7 cm and 10 cm--from the light strobe and at different times of exposure.

Inadequate on-farm storage and limited preventive measures could cause aflatoxin poisoning in maize and pulses.

Aflatoxin B1 is the most potent naturally occurring liver carcinogen that we know.

Caption: Aflatoxin is a poison that contaminates many of Africa's staple foods.

Furthermore, even if the incidence of aflatoxin causing fungi happens, commercial treatment of Ozonation [22] can manage the affect to a minimal level [23].

8% of isolates were capable of producing aflatoxin B1.

Beside the aflatoxin production inhibition, other mechanisms of aflatoxin suppression by the bacterium, including toxin degradation and cell wall adsorption were also tested.

Ghana native Esther Yeboah Akoto, who is currently pursuing her masters degree in food science and technology at the University of Georgia, is working to help farmers diminish aflatoxin contamination in their soil by composting field waste.

com)-- Bioo Scientific recently announced the launch of the MycoFlow[TM] Total Aflatoxin Strip Test Kit for the rapid detection of total aflatoxin in corn, corn grits, corn meal, rice, wheat, soy, peanut, pistachio, and coconut.

She said that the more common types of mycotoxins occurring in foods and animal feeds include aflatoxin B1, B2, G1, G2, ochratoxins, fumonisin and zearalenone.
