Dip-strip method for monitoring environmental contamination of aflatoxin in food and feed: use of a portable aflatoxin detection kit.
Aflatoxin contamination of food and feed have gained global significance due to its deleterious effect on human and animal health and its importance in the international trade. The potential of aflatoxin as a carcinogen, mutagen, teratogen, and immunosuppressive agent is well documented. The problem of aflatoxin contamination of food and feed has led to the enactment of various legislation. How...
متن کاملValidation study of a commercial aflatoxin detection kit according to the notification method in Japan.
A commercial aflatoxin detection ELISA kit, "RIDASCREEN(®) FAST Aflatoxin", was validated with corn samples naturally contaminated with aflatoxin and non-contaminated reference corn samples according to the Japanese Notification Method ShokuAnHatsu 0816-7. The trueness, intra-laboratory repeatability, intermediate precision, limit of detection and limit of quantitation were found to be 91%, 10%...
متن کاملAflatoxin Detoxification : Hydroxydihydro - Aflatoxin B 1
A large number of microorganisms were screened in shaken-flask culture for their ability to detoxify the fungal toxin, aflatoxin B, (A. Ciegler et al., Appl. Microbiol. 14:934, 1966). We noted formation of a new fluorescing compound with concomitant disappearance of aflatoxin B, when toxin was added to acid-producing mold cultures. Steaming the culture before addition of toxin did not prevent f...
متن کاملAflatoxin biosynthesis.
Aflatoxins are toxic and extremely carcinogenic natural secondary metabolites produced primarily by the fungi Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. The biosynthesis of aflatoxins is a complex process involving multi-enzymatic reactions. Genetic studies of the molecular mechanism of aflatoxin B1 biosynthesis have identified an aflatoxin pathway gene cluster of 70 kilobase pairs in leng...
متن کاملInfluences of climate on aflatoxin producing fungi and aflatoxin contamination.
Aflatoxins are potent mycotoxins that cause developmental and immune system suppression, cancer, and death. As a result of regulations intended to reduce human exposure, crop contamination with aflatoxins causes significant economic loss for producers, marketers, and processors of diverse susceptible crops. Aflatoxin contamination occurs when specific fungi in the genus Aspergillus infect crops...
