Abstract
Mycotoxins are the secondary metabolites of fungi. They are specifically connected to issues in animals and humans. Mycotoxin contamination is an overall problem influencing staple harvests such as corn (maize) and wheat as well as tree nuts, peanuts, sorghum, and numerous others. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations estimated that about 25% of worldwide agricultural commodities were infected by mycotoxigenic fungi. Many analytical methods such as liquid chromatography and gas chromatography are available to analyze mycotoxins, but these techniques require extensive sample preparation and treatment, boring procedures, and expensive equipment. Rapid, portable, and less expensive techniques are needed for on-site ultrasensitive and quantitative analyses of mycotoxins, especially in developing countries. Lateral flow immunoassays meet that need by providing users with a relatively easy, rapid, sensitive, and inexpensive method for analyzing mycotoxins in agro-foods and ensuring human health.
