Definition of Aflatoxin (263 words) |
 | Chemical structure of Aflatoxin B1 Aflatoxins are naturally occurring mycotoxins that act as carcinogens and are produced by two types of mold, Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. |
| Aspergillus flavus is common and widespread in nature and is most often found when peanuts and certain grains are grown under stressful conditions such as drought. |
| The mold occurs in soil, decaying vegetation, hay, and grains undergoing microbiological deterioration and invades all types of organic substrates whenever and wherever the conditions are favorable for its growth. |
