Abstract
Aflatoxins (AFTs), as representatives from a group of secondary fungal metabolites known as mycotoxins, are divided into several subgroups based on differing chemical characteristics (Figure 1). As a by-product of their metabolism, Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus produce AFTs including aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), aflatoxin B2 (AFB2 ), aflatoxin G1 (AFG1 ), and aflatoxin G2 (AFG2 ). Collectively, the aflatoxins are among the most toxic hepatocarcinogens known (Sporn, 1966).
