Significats de aflatoxins en anglès

A large number of food commodities are reported to be contaminated with aflatoxins.

Besides being a source of several health promoting substances, tea leaves are also reported to be contaminated with aflatoxins.

The current study aimed to quantify the level of aflatoxins in commercially available branded and non-branded black tea samples.

Humans are exposed to hepatocarcinogenic aflatoxins through ingestion of moldy foods, a consequence of poor storage of susceptible grains.

Recent epidemiology studies show that exposure to aflatoxins through dietary sources in early life contributes to growth retardation among children.

Women's milk samples on the third or fourth day after delivery were tested to determine aflatoxins and ochratoxin A levels.

This mutation occurs in populations that are exposed to aflatoxins and have a high prevalence of hepatitis B virus carriers.

However, not a single study is reported from Pakistan regarding the level of aflatoxins in commercially available black tea samples.

Highly exposed populations are primarily in sub-Sahara Africa and Asia, where dietary aflatoxins significantly enhance the carcinogenic effects of viral hepatitis.

Furthermore, the impact of local tea making processes on the concentration of aflatoxins in tea beverage (filtrate) was also investigated.

Analysis of 3 samples naturally contaminated with aflatoxins revealed that the ELISA data were comparable to those obtained by other established chemical methods.

Therefore, continuous surveillance for aflatoxins in Bangladeshi food commodities is clearly required, first to identify major sources of intake and then to reduce exposure.

Aflatoxins are toxic fungal metabolites found in foods and feeds.

Aflatoxins can cause damage to the liver in continuous doses.

Aflatoxins are known to cause hepatocellular carcinoma, which share similar etiologic factors with liver cirrhosis.

Aflatoxins and fumonisins were quantified by high performance liquid chromatography coupled with a fluorescence detector.
