1. IntroductionMycotoxins are toxic fungal metabolites that can contaminate a wide array of food and feed [1]. Mycotoxin-producing fungi can be classified into either field or storage fungi. Field fungi, such as the Fusarium species, produce mycotoxins on the crops in the field, whereas storage fungi, such as the Aspergillus and Penicillium species, produce mycotoxins on the crops after harvesting ...

IntroductionFoods and feeds generally have the potential of being invaded by fungi, particularly Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus during pre-production or post- production, resulting to contamination due to proliferation. In the process, metabolic activities take place within the fungi, in and on the food produce or product. The biochemical actions results to production of secondary ...

Thus, attention is directed to diseases which are closely related to different kinds of mycotoxicoses. Reports from the World Health Organization show that the presence of mycotoxins and toxic metabolites of molds in the food for human consumption is not on the decrease. Due to the obviou ...
