Total Aflatoxin Background
Aflatoxins are a group of highly toxic compounds produced by certain molds, predominantly Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. These molds can contaminate a wide range of agricultural commodities, including grains, nuts, seeds, spices, and animal feed.
Total Aflatoxin
Total aflatoxin refers to the collective measurement of several closely related chemical compounds, namely aflatoxin B1, B2, G1, G2, M1, and M2. Aflatoxin B1 is considered the most potent and prevalent form among these. Aflatoxins are recognized as potent carcinogens and can pose significant health risks to humans and animals.
Aflatoxins and Health Issues
Exposure to aflatoxins primarily occurs through the consumption of contaminated food and feed products. Ingesting aflatoxin-contaminated substances can lead to various health issues, including liver damage, hepatocellular carcinoma (a type of liver cancer), immune suppression, growth impairment, and other adverse effects. The AF (Total Aflatoxin) ELISA Kit is a tool designed for the detection and quantification of total aflatoxin levels in various samples.
