General description

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a mycotoxin, belonging to the class of aflatoxins, mainly produced by Aspergillus species, A. flavus or A. parasiticus. These toxic secondary metabolites are harmful to animal and human health. They can enter the food chain via contaminated crops and fruits or through processed food and feed products. Aflatoxin B1 can be found in agricultural products and food products including cereals, spices, nuts, fruits, vegetables, dry fruits, etc.
