The presence of fungi, aflatoxins and fumonisin B1 in cassava and yam chips (during 28 processing and storage) were evaluated during two
consecutive seasons in two agroecological zones of Benin (Northern Guinea Savannah, NGS and Sudan Savannah, SS). The Benin samples were
assessed for moisture co...

Mycoflora and natural occurrence of aflatoxins and fumonisin B1 in cassava and yam chips from Benin, West Africa
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a carcinogenic mycotoxin produced by Aspergillii of the section Flavi that may contaminate food, in the field or during storage. Cassava represents an important staple food in sub-saharian Africa. The analysis of aflatoxigenic fungi in 36 cassava samples obtained from produ...

Analysis of the contrast between natural occurence of toxigenic Aspergillii of the Flavi section and aflatoxin B1 in cassava
This chapter considers the increase in cassava production and processing into a wide range of traditional and improved cassava-based products worldwide. Toxic cyanogenic glycosides are removed from high cyanogenic cassava cultivars by known techniques prior to further processing. Therefore we als...
