“…The fungal and aflatoxins contamination was reported in rice in Turkey (Aydin et al, 2010); in maize from south-western Nigeria (Bankole & Mabekoje, 2004), Brazil (Rocha et al, 2009) and northern Italy (Pietri et al, 2004); in domestic and imported beers in Canada (Mably et al, 2005); and in peanuts in the Cote d'Ivoire (Sangare-Tigori et al, 2006), between others. Since contamination of grains with mycotoxins is not efficiently eliminated by most of the food processing operations such as sorting, trimming, cleaning, milling, brewing, cooking, baking, frying, roasting, canning, flaking, alkaline cooking, nixtamalization, and extrusion; the fungal toxins are commonly found in grain by-products.…”
