Research Publications (Food Safety)

This page tracks research articles published in national and international peer-reviewed journals. Recent articles are available ahead of print and searchable by Journal, Article Title, and Category. Research publications are tracked across six categories: Bacterial Pathogens, Chemical Contaminants, Natural Toxins, Parasites, Produce Safety, and Viruses. Articles produced by USDA Grant Funding Agencies (requires login) and FDA Grant Funding Agencies (requires login) are also tracked in Scopus.

      Abstract

      Aflatoxins are mycotoxins that contaminate agricultural products when infected by toxigenic Aspergillus flavus. Methods for quantifying aflatoxin from culture using chromatography are available but are not optimized for population studies. We provide details of a method for preparation and quantitation of aflatoxin B1 from fungal cultures that satisfy those needs.
