Mycotoxin Testing

Mycotoxins are substances produced by molds that contaminate various agricultural commodities either before harvest or under post-harvest conditions. According to Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), international trade in agricultural commodities such as wheat, rice, barley, corn, sorghum, soybeans, groundnuts, and oilseeds amounts to hundreds of millions of tons each year run a high risk of mycotoxin contamination. In fact, there is considerable opportunity for mold and mycotoxin contamination of agricultural commodities to take place throughout the food system – from production to distribution and transport – and this may lead to economic losses. Apart from the obvious losses of food and feed, there are losses caused by lower productivity and high costs of control measures throughout all levels of the supply chain. Do not let mycotoxin contamination hamper your business operations and expose your consumers to health hazards. We could help you optimize your quality control systems with our premium mycotoxin testing kits. Let us know about your mycotoxin testing concerns by giving us a call or e-mail.

Aflatoxin

Aflatoxin is one of the most potent natural carcinogens known to man and has been linked to a wide variety of human health problems. The US FDA has established maximum allowable levels of total aflatoxin in food commodities at 20 parts per billion. The maximum level for milk products is even lower at 0. 5 parts per billion. Primarily Aspergillus species fungi produce aflatoxin.

Effects:

  • Aflatoxin B1, and naturally occurring mixtures of aflatoxins,are identified as potent human carcinogens
  • Cause liver damage or cancer, decrease milk and egg production, immune suppression and interference with reproductive efficiency
