Titre français : Estimation des niveaux d'aflotoxines dans certaines denrées alimentaires et dans l'alimentation animale en Inde

Résumé : Public and industrial interest in mycotoxin contamination has grown in India following significant deaths of poultry fed with contaminated feed in the 1990s. Using low-cost immunochemical tests, the research team analyzed samples of spices available at local markets and of ingredients used for industrial production of chicken feed. Aflatoxin contamination was particularly high for low-grade chillies (mainly purchased by the poor) and chilli powder sold as superior grade in supermarkets. High levels of contamination also occurred in maize and groundnut used for feed, a result which has prompted the feed industry to use the developed technologies for the routine testing of various ingredients. Monitoring of hazardous foods and feeds needs to take place more generally, and the marketing of contaminated products discouraged, to limit human and animal health risks.
