Detection of Mycotoxins in Nuts
publication date: Dec 21, 2009
Mykotoxins are natural metabolism products of molds which have
a toxic effect on humans and animals. Just like micro-organisms
which generate antibiotics, molds which generate mycotoxins
have spread all over the world. Aflatoxins are the most toxic form
of mycotoxins. Some types of food show an increased risk of
aflatoxin release due to fungal infestation: dried fruit, spices,
nuts (peanuts, hazelnuts, pistachios) and grain (wheat, corn).
