Aflatoxins are mycotoxins produced by fungi of the genus Aspergillus, which is widely spread in the tropics and subtropics. To date, aflatoxin phototoxicity has been recognized, but the mechanism responsible for this phototoxicity has not been fully characterized. In the

Aflatoxin contamination resulting from maize infection by Aspergillus flavus is both an economic and a public health concern. Therefore, strategies for controlling aflatoxin contamination in maize are being investigated. The abilities of eleven naturally occurring atoxigenic isolates in Nigeria to
Broad-specific immunoassays are an emerging technology that allows simultaneous determination of a class of closely related small molecular weight analytes. The current approaches are mainly based on the competitive format and involve complicated or expensive processes hindering their wide application.

The new pre-concentration technique, hollow fiber-solid phase microextraction based on carbon nanotube reinforced sol-gel and liquid chromatography-photodiode array detection was applied to determination of aflatoxins B(1), B(2) (AFB(1), AFB(2)) in rice, peanut and wheat samples. This research provides an overview
A novel membrane-based lateral-flow immunodipstick assay was developed for the fast screening of aflatoxin B(2) (AFB(2)) as a model compound in food samples. The detector reagent consisted of magnetic nanogold microspheres (MnGMs) with nano-Fe(2)O(3) particles as core and gold nanoparticles
