Overview

Analysis identifies aflatoxins in crops from Punjab, assessing detoxification techniques for safety.

Key Points

  • 30.42% of corn, rice, and wheat samples were unsuitable for human consumption due to aflatoxin contamination.
  • The highest aflatoxin level found was 545 μg/kg in a corn sample from Rawalpindi, Pakistan.
  • Cooking, citric acid treatment, and probiotics showed effective detoxification methods for aflatoxins.
  • A total of 240 crop samples were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography to quantify aflatoxins.
