Across sub-Saharan Africa, chili peppers are fundamental ingredients of many traditional dishes. However, chili peppers may contain unsafe aflatoxin concentrations produced by Aspergillus section Flavi fungi. Aflatoxin levels were determined in chili peppers from three states in Nigeria. A total ...

Aflatoxin in chili peppers in Nigeria: extent of contamination and control using atoxigenic aspergillus flavus genotypes as biocontrol agents
The distribution and aflatoxigenicity of Aspergillus section Flavi isolates in 58 commercial poultry feed samplesobtained from 17 states in five agro-ecological zones (AEZs) in Nigeria were determined in order to assess thesafety of the feedswith respect to aflatoxin-producing fungi. Correlation ...

A pilot, cross-sectional, correlational study was conducted in eight rural communities in northern Nigeria toinvestigate mycotoxin exposures in 120 volunteers (19 children, 20 adolescents and 81 adults) using a modernLC–MS/MS based multi-biomarker approach. Firstmorning urine samples were analyze...

Over the past decade, there has been increasing recognition that
the quantity of food alone guarantees neither food security
nor adequate nutrition as measured by metrics such as hunger,
malnutrition, and stunting. Increasingly, policy and decision makers
understand the need to include nutritiona...

The role of mycotoxin contamination in nutrition: The aflatoxin story
Metabolites of toxigenic fungi and bacteria occur as natural contaminants (e.g. mycotoxins) in feedstuffs making them unsafe to animals. The multi-toxin profiles in 58 commercial poultry feed samples collected from 19 districts in 17 states of Nigeria were determined by LC/ESI–MS/MS with a single...
