Aflatoxins are a group of highly toxic mycotoxins, which naturally
occur as fungal secondary metabolites, and can be detected in food
and feed. "Aflatoxins: Biochemistry, Toxicology, Public Health,
Policies and Modern Methods of Analysis" discusses general issues
that occur by this mycotoxin contamination in foods and feeds. The
book is divided into 9 chapters that summarize aflatoxins'
biological effects on human health, methods for their
determination, and strategies for risk mitigation and legislation.
The first part covers the biochemical effects of aflatoxins on
human and animal health, as well as techniques for biomonitoring.
The chapters in the second part describe all the physicochemical
and biological assays for aflatoxin determination and analysis. In
addition, special attention is given also in the predictive
modeling of Aspergillus flavus growth and aflatoxins production.
Furthermore, a chapter is dedicated to the use of metabolomics in
Aspergillus research. In the last part, the book goes on examining
the regulatory provisions for aflatoxin contamination control. The
book is intended to provide an update to scientists, industry
professionals and the general public in the recent advances within
the field of aflatoxins.
