Abstract

Aflatoxin is  the   secondary metabolite of low  molecular  weight produced  by  naturally occurring  fungi mainly Aspergillus flavus and  Aspergillus parasiticus.  Rapid progress in  the  area of  aflatoxin  analysis and  detoxification  method bas  been   made  during the last   few   years.  Simplified method,  cleanup protocol  and chromatographic  methods have   been  continuously  developing to  make   these  methods  more   sensitive and  reliable. In  this   review we  are discussing different aflatoxin analysis  methods as  well  as  different methods of aflatoxin  detoxification.
