Abstract Aflatoxins are potent carcinogens and pose significant risks to food safety public health worldwide. include Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), B2 (AFB2), G1 (AFG1), G2 (AFG2), M1 (AFM1). AFB1 is particularly notorious for its carcinogenicity, classified as a Group 1 human carcinogen by the International Agency Research on Cancer (IARC). Chronic exposure aflatoxins through contaminated feed can lead liver cancer, immunosuppression, growth impairment, other systemic issues. Efforts mitigate aflatoxin contamination have traditionally relied chemical treatments, physical separation methods, biological degradation. However, these approaches often challenges related safety, efficacy, impact quality. Recently, cold plasma treatment has emerged promising alternative. Cold generates reactive oxygen species, which effectively degrade surfaces without compromising nutritional integrity or safety. This review consolidates current research advancements in detoxification, highlighting potential of technology revolutionize practices. By exploring mechanisms toxicity, evaluating existing detoxification discussing principles applications treatment. Graphical

Grain serves as an essential cornerstone for sustaining life and social stability. However, during storage grain is often invaded by mold, which leads to mildew issues. This problem diminishes nutrient content food quality raises safety concerns, including toxin production, can cause serious economic losses catastrophic market stability national security conditions. Accordingly, implementing effective measures prevent control mold crucial ensuring safety. paper analyzes the molds that affect storage, discussing their varieties, environmental needs, potential hazards. It also expounds on corresponding prevention measures, physical methods, chemical approaches, innovative inhibitors derived from microbes plants, micro-nano technology. These demonstrate significant suppression destroying cell structure of or inhibiting its physiological processes. In particular, technology enables embedding controlled release active ingredients. prolong duration enhance antibacterial stability, thus achieving more effects. Furthermore, it be concluded these strategies provide a theoretical foundation efficiency storage. Additionally, they assist in effectively addressing mold-related challenges while security.

Aflatoxins, toxic compounds from Aspergillus fungi, pose serious health and economic risks in Africa, mainly due to contamination staple foods. This study investigated aflatoxin maize, cowpeas, melon seeds, groundnuts, yam chips collected Lagos, Nigeria, examined the effectiveness of processing methods reduce levels. One hundred fifty samples were gathered three markets using coning quartering techniques. Samples processed by washing, aeration, drying below 50°C for six hours a multi-purpose dryer. Moisture total levels then measured. Each sample was extracted with 70% methanol analyzed Ridascreen® enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit (n=45). Method validation showed strong recovery known concentration, detection quantification limits at 1.87 μg/kg 3.41 μg/kg, respectively. Unprocessed ranging 3.10-10.20 while ranged 2.00-5.10 μg/kg; maize exceeded National Agency Food Drug Administration Control limit 10 raw Statistical analysis (one-way ANOVA Tukey’s post-hoc test) confirmed that significantly reduced (p<0.05). offers valuable data, supporting agricultural research informing Nigerian policies on food safety promote public stability.

Cereal grains are frequently attacked by microorganisms and insects during storage processing, which negatively affects their quality, safety, market value. Therefore, protecting stored from microbial contamination is crucial for food industries, farmers, public health associations, environmental agencies. Due to the negative impact of synthetic gray chemicals, antimicrobial plant-based essential oils (EOs) can serve as alternative, safer, environmentally friendly preservatives that prolong shelf life cereals. However, high volatility, low solubility, hydrophobicity, quick oxidation limit practical applicability. Using nanotechnology nanoencapsulation EOs into polymeric matrices allows sustained release ensures targeted delivery without significantly altering organoleptic attributes cereals, making a new-generation green preservative. This ultimately overcomes challenges applications. The application nanoencapsulated in grain provides an effective novel defense against microbes, insects, other contaminants. Hence, current review thoroughly examines preservative potential terms insecticidal efficacy cereal grains. It also highlights encountered safety concerns using post-harvest storage.

Aspergillus flavus and its carcinogenic secondary metabolites, aflatoxins, not only cause serious losses in the agricultural economy, but also endanger human health. Rhein, a compound extracted from Chinese herbal medicine Rheum palmatum L. (Dahuang), exhibits good anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-oxidative effects. However, effect underlying mechanisms against have yet been fully illustrated. In this study, we characterized inhibition of rhein on A. mycelial growth, sporulation, aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) biosynthesis potential mechanism using RNA-seq analysis. The results indicate that growth AFB1 were significantly inhibited by 50 μM rhein, with 43.83% reduction colony diameter 87.2% production. findings demonstrated differentially expressed genes primarily participated processes such as spore formation development, maintenance cell wall membrane integrity, management oxidative stress, regulation citric acid cycle, aflatoxin. Biochemical verification experiments further confirmed effectively disrupted integrity caused mitochondrial dysfunction through disrupting energy metabolism pathways, leading to decreased ATP synthesis ROS accumulation, resulting impaired biosynthesis. addition, pathogenicity test showed peanut maize seeds 34.1% 90.4%, while was 60.52% 99.43%, respectively. conclusion, research expands knowledge regarding antifungal activity provides new strategy mitigate contamination.
