Descripción

Descripción general

Aflatoxins are a group of natural fungal metabolites synthesized by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus, which can be found as toxins (mycotoxins) contaminants in human and animal food products. Aflatoxin B1 is the most abundant and significant member of the group also including B2, B2a, G1, G2a, M1, M2, P1, Q1, aflatoxicol I (natural isomer), aflatoxicol II (unnatural isomer), tetrahydrodeoxy aflatoxin B1 and the unstable reactive B1 (8,9)-epoxide. Aflatoxin B1 is activated by cytochrome P450 proteins, a family of liver abundant enzymes that converts the Aflatoxin into mutagenic and carcinogenic intermediates.
The ability of aflatoxin B1 and its metabolites to act as a potent carcinogen, mutagen, and teratogen, in addition to its toxicity is well known. Thus, aflatoxins have been implicated in human hepatocellular carcinoma, outbreaks of aflatoxicosis, Rey′s syndrome, chronic hepatitis and increased mortality from infection in animal husbandry. Humans and animals may be exposed to aflatoxins by consuming aflatoxins containing food products that have been directly contaminated by fungal strains during growth, harvest, or storage. Many grains and food ingredients including corn, peanuts, tree nuts, cottonseed, cereal crops, beans, cassava, milo, sorghum, copra, rice, dried fish, and beer have been found to be contaminated with aflatoxins due to natural invasion by molds before and during harvest, or because of improper storage. Thus consumers may be exposed to aflatoxins either directly by eating contaminated grains or nuts, or indirectly via animal tissues (meat) or animal products (milk) containing aflatoxins. The aflatoxins are increasingly recognized as a serious health risk to humans and animals alike. Consequently, a suitable analytical method for the detection of these toxins is required for effective food and feed safety-monitoring programs worldwide.
