A Review of Methods for Qualitative Detection of Aflatoxin

p One of the factors that is widely scattered in nature and causes contamination of food sources in humans and animals is aflatoxin-producing fungi, which can have dangerous effects on the consumer. It seems that aflatoxins produced by Aspergillus species are very dangerous and toxic and cause severe food contamination and high carcinogenic power. It seems that even a low concentration of aflatoxin has dangerous side effects, so the identification and quantification of this toxin in food and feed can have a high degree of sensitivity. In this field, there are strong methods for identification and quantification, which necessitates the development of aflatoxin research. The existence of appropriate methods for quantifying these poisons, accurate diagnosis and control can ensure the health of consumers and prevent the occurrence of dangers and side effects of poisons. There are various laboratory methods such as chromatography for the detection of aflatoxins. in this study, we will compare the analytical and analytical methods of aflatoxin determination, which can be effective in deciding to choose the right method with the appropriate sensitivity level for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of aflatoxin identification in food. /p
