Review on Removal of aflatoxin from maize by using plant extract

摘要: This review summarizes the historical development of aflatoxin problems in maize and attendant responses agricultural research community. Originally, studies were focused on stored commodity, since two toxin-producing species, Aspergillus flavus A. parasiticus , considered storage fungi. Laboratory investigations identified major factors influencing species storage, such as moisture, temperature, aeration substrate. Various modifications key components environment developed to control The discovery preharvest infection developing kernels by or subsequent production introduced a new facet mycotoxicology. same environmental that influence fungi appear affect processes field contamination varying degrees. However, ecosystems, activities dramatically interacting including host plants, microbes, arthropods other pests.  prevention fungal growth is still best practice prevent aflatoxins foods feeds, measures are also necessary.
