This review showed that in Côte d’Ivoire, peanut paste had 100% AFB1 contamination, with levels of 4535 µg/kg (AFB1) and 8094 µg/kg (total aflatoxins), and 99% of samples exceeded European Union limits.
ABSTRACT Aflatoxins are highly toxic secondary metabolites produced by certain species of Aspergillus that can contaminate food products and pose significant health risks to humans and animals. This study aimed to determine the occurrence and contamination levels of total aflatoxins (total AF) and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) i...

Aflatoxins are potent carcinogenic mycotoxins that frequently contaminate oilseed value chains in developing countries. This study assessed the occurrence of aflatoxins (AFB₁, AFTB₂, AFG₁, AFG₂) and associated dietary health risks in 69 samples comprising oilseeds, crude edible oils, and oil cakes collected from local...

This study evaluated dietary exposure and cancer risk associated with aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in 90 edible vegetable oil samples (olive, corn, and sunflower) collected from Tehran, Iran. AFB1 concentrations were measured using HPLC-FLD, and risk was assessed through Estimated Daily Intake (EDI), Margin of Exposure (MOE),...
Aflatoxins, particularly aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) produced by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus, remain persistent contaminants of maize- and groundnut-derived ingredients used in poultry feed, reducing bird productivity and creating consumer exposure through residues in eggs and edible tissues. We systematical...
