Abstract:

Aflatoxin is a secondarily metabolized toxin, produced mostly by fungi such as Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. Aflatoxin is often present in wet/humid areas such as Pakistan, Brazil, India, South Africa, West Africa, United States of America (US) and Korea countries. Aflatoxins are common found in agriculture commodities such as rice, maize, barley and wheat etc. Aflatoxins have harmful effects on the human body e.g. liver cancer, Stunning, mycotoxicoses, acute aflatoxicosis and chronic aflatoxicosis. So, the several countries established permissible level for aflatoxins. The permissible level of aflatoxins in different food commodities is 0.025 to 100 ppb. Aflatoxins degraded via physical, chemical and microbiological method. The potential effect and functional properties degradation of indigenous medicinal plants review against the aflatoxin.
