“…Another image based sorting technology has been proposed by Özlüoymak (2014) , who reported that approximately 98% of the AFs in contaminated figs were successfully detected and separated by a UV light coupled with colour detection system. This method used the viability of bright greenish-yellow fluorescence (BGYF), which is produced by A. flavus via the oxidative action of peroxidases in living plant tissue ( Hadavi, 2005 , Lundadei et al., 2013 ) as an image screening technique for the classification of AF contaminated crops.…”

Aflatoxins are mainly produced by certain strains of Aspergillus flavus, which are found in diverse agricultural crops. In many lower-income countries, aflatoxins pose serious public health issues since the occurrence of these toxins can be considerably common and even extreme. Aflatoxins can negatively affect health of livestock and poultry due to contaminated feeds. Additionally, they significantly limit the development of international trade as a result of strict regulation in high-value markets. Due to their high stability, aflatoxins are not only a problem during cropping, but also during storage, transport, processing, and handling steps. Consequently, innovative evidence-based technologies are urgently required to minimize aflatoxin exposure. Thus far, biological control has been developed as the most innovative potential technology of controlling aflatoxin contamination in crops, which uses competitive exclusion of toxigenic strains by non-toxigenic ones. This technology is commercially applied in groundnuts maize, cottonseed, and pistachios during pre-harvest stages. Some other effective technologies such as irradiation, ozone fumigation, chemical and biological control agents, and improved packaging materials can also minimize post-harvest aflatoxins contamination in agricultural products. However, integrated adoption of these pre- and post-harvest technologies is still required for sustainable solutions to reduce aflatoxins contamination, which enhances food security, alleviates malnutrition, and strengthens economic sustainability.

“…The viability of bright greenish‐yellow fluorescence (BGYF) as an aflatoxin screening method for the removal of contaminated agricultural crops has been evaluated. The fluorescence is produced by the oxidative action of heat‐labile enzymes (peroxidases) in living plant tissue on kojic acid, which is produced by A. flavus . Color and form changes detected visually are preceded by chemical changes in the grains caused by the fungus .…”

Aflatoxins are highly toxic, mutagenic, teratogenic and carcinogenic compounds produced predominantly as secondary metabolites by certain species of fungi belonging to the Aspergillus genus. Owing to the significant health risks and economic impacts associated with the presence of aflatoxins in agricultural commodities, a considerable amount of research has been directed at finding methods to prevent toxicity. This review compiles the recent literature of methods for the detoxification and management of aflatoxin in post-harvest agricultural crops using non-biological remediation.
