dc.descriptionAflatoxins (AT) are secondary metabolites of microscopic moulds of the Aspergillus sp. with pronounced toxic, hepatocarcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic properties. AT contaminate grains (wheat, rye, barley, rice, oats, sorghum and millet, buckwheat, corn), pulses (peas, beans, soya), nuts (walnut, pecan, filbert, hazel, almond, pistachio, cashew, Brazil nut, groundnut, marzipan), as well as cocoa and coffee beans, tea, sunflower and cotton seeds, some spices and the products of their reprocessing. Analysis of the products of animal origin has shown that AT B1 and its hydroxylated metabolite M1 can be present in the tissues and milk of animals, eggs, of poultry that together with feed receive high doses of AT.en
