Aflatoxin contamination is a research area that focuses on the presence of aflatoxins in food and feed products. Aflatoxins are toxic substances produced by certain fungi that can contaminate crops such as maize, peanuts, and tree nuts. Consumption of aflatoxin-contaminated products can lead to serious health issues, including liver damage, cancer, and even death. Researchers in this field study ways to prevent, detect, and mitigate aflatoxin contamination in order to protect human and animal health. This research often involves developing strategies for crop management, post-harvest practices, and monitoring techniques to reduce aflatoxin exposure.
