This review examines aflatoxin detection methods in pistachios, highlighting implications for safety and trade.

The aim is to explore detection methods for aflatoxin in pistachio nuts and discuss emerging technologies' impact on food safety.
Reviewed traditional detection methods like High-Performance Liquid Chromatography and Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay.
Analyzed emerging detection technologies such as Hyperspectral Imaging and machine learning integration.
Explored regulatory challenges and recommendations for smallholder farmers.
Traditional methods are precise but costly and impractical for smallholders.
Emerging technologies can offer rapid, nondestructive detection, but may lack the necessary precision for regulatory compliance.
Climate change increases aflatoxin risk, necessitating adaptive strategies in detection and regulation.

Mahroughi et al. (2026) studied this question.
