Abstract
Exposure to mycotoxins in food is largely unavoidable, and concerns about their health effects are growing. Consumption of vegetable oils such as peanuts oil has increased, hence several studies have been conducted on concentration of aflatoxins (AFs) in peanuts oil. Search was performed in Scopus and PubMed databases on prevalence and concentration of AFs in peanuts oil from 1 January 2005 to 15 April 29, 2022. Prevalence and concentration of AFs in peanuts oil was meta-analyzed based on country and type of AFs subgroups. In addition, health risk was calculated using monte carlo simulation method. Pooled prevalence of AFB1 in peanuts oil was 47.9%; AFB2, 46.45%; AFG1, 46.92% and AFG2, 54.01%. The Overall prevalence of AFTs was 49.30%, 95%CI (35.80-62.84%). Pooled concentration of AFB1 in peanuts oil was 2.30μg/kg; AFB2, 0.77μg/kg; AFG1, 0.07μg/kg; AFG1, 0.28μg/kg. The sort of country based on mean of MOEs in the adults consumers was Japan (47,059)>China (17,670)>Ethiopia (7,398)>Sudan (6,974)>USA (1,012) and sort of country based on mean of MOEs in the children was Japan (120,994)>China (46,991)>Ethiopia (19,251)>Sudan (18,200)>USA (2,620). Therefore, adults consumers were in considerable health risk in Ethiopia, Sudan and USA and for children in USA (MOE<10,000).
