Ayalew, A.Kimanya, M.Matumba, L.Bandyopadhyay, RanajitMenkir, A.Cotty, P.[Controlling aflatoxins in maize in Africa: strategies, challenges and opportunities for improvement]Controlling aflatoxins in maize in Africa: strategies, challenges and opportunities for improvement

Mycotoxins have both economic and health impacts because they contaminate human food and animal feeds. A central question is whether there are food processing strategies that reduce mycotoxin levels in food products. In this chapter we critically review food processing methods tested in Africa fo...

Aflatoxins produced by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus are common contaminants of peanut (Arachis hypogea) and a major threat to consumers, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. Aflatoxin contamination is a serious concern given their hepatotoxic properties and their widespread occur...


Waliyar, F.Kumar, L.Traoré, A.Ntare, B.R.Diarra, B.Kodio, O.[Pre and postharvest management of aflatoxin contamination in peanuts]Pre and postharvest management of aflatoxin contamination in peanuts

The aflatoxin class of mycotoxins is one of the most important food safety concerns at domestic and international levels. The widespread occurrence of aflatoxin contamination in Africa and other tropical countries is a major potential hazard to humans and domesticated animals, and causes severe h...

Aflatoxin exposure is frequent and widespread in most African countries where the key staples, maize and groundnut, are particularly vulnerable to aflatoxin contamination. Aflatoxin-producing fungi are ubiquitous in Africa where they occupy soil and colonize diverse organic matter while producing...

On 8 June 2013, the Vice President of Zambia stated that his government ‘is fully committed to reducing chronic undernutrition by 50 per cent in the next ten years…’ What are the challenges to meeting this goal? Zambia has both a high consumption of groundnuts and high levels of aflatoxin contami...


Ismail, S.Shindano, J.Nyirenda, D.B.Bandyopadhyay, RanajitAkello, J.[Does exposure to aflatoxin constrain efforts to reduce stunting in Zambia?]Does exposure to aflatoxin constrain efforts to reduce stunting in Zambia?

The major mycotoxins studied at the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Re-search (CGIAR) institutes are aflatoxins in maize, groundnut, sorghum and cassava, Fusa-rium toxins in maize, wheat and sorghum, and ochratoxin in cocoa and cashew. Genetic en-hancement (both through plant bre...

Autor: Falade, T.

Aflatoxins are natural poisons produced by some members of the Aspergillus section Flavi group. Their control is critical in sub-Saharan Africa as in other parts of the world because of the health and economic dangers that aflatoxins cause. Aflatoxin management requires a pipeline approach (from ...
