“…They actively engage in transforming the developmental and regulatory signals, thereby conferring mucosal immune protection [31]. The incidence of bacterial infections has seen a significant rise, surpassing the number of infections caused by Salmonella [32]. This increase in infections can be attributed to factors such as consumption of broiler meat, which may account for approximately 20-30% of these cases.…”

Probiotics are living microorganisms known for their beneficial properties and have been extensively researched and utilized in various products worldwide. These microorganisms have essential nutritional needs and exhibit significant functional qualities. Probiotics have been employed to enhance the well-being of both animals and humans by influencing the balance of microorganisms in the intestines. Several probiotic strains, such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacilli, became identified and studied for their potential to mitigate the incidence of gastrointestinal (GI) infections or as a therapeutic approach for treating such infections. With the rise of microbiota displaying resistance and tolerance to traditional medications and antibiotics, the effectiveness of drugs has diminished. Several probiotic strains have been identified to possess notable properties, including potent anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects. Consequently, introducing beneficial bacterial species into the GI tract offers an appealing approach to restoring microbial balance and preventing diseases. Furthermore, probiotics have demonstrated the capacity to inhibit the action of intestinal bacterial enzymes responsible being synthesizing colonic carcinogens. Probiotics offer a promising preventive and therapeutic advancement, but further research is required to better understand their specific impact on intestinal health. Probiotics can also exert a direct influence on other microorganisms, including pathogens, which is crucial in preventing and treating infections and restoring the balance of microorganisms in the GI tract. The present review deals with probiotic formulations, their mechanisms, and their role in human health.

“…As for vegetables which are unfit for sale due to fungal spoilage or other, they are often discarded or used as animal feed. Studies have documented that mycotoxins accumulated in food animals are not only a health threat for animals but also represent a food safety and public health issue through ingestion of potentially contaminated animal-derived food products (Alshannaq and Yu, 2017;Duchenne et al, 2021).…”

Food crops, including vegetables, are prone to attack by pathogenic and mycotoxigenic fungi and represent a food safety and public health risk. The study aimed to detect and quantify mycotoxins in vegetables widely consumed in Mauritius. Diseased samples of garlic, onion, potato, pumpkin and tomato were collected post-harvest. Following microscopic identification of the suspect pathogen(s), samples were tested for mycotoxins by ELISA. Results demonstrated a high mean level of citrinin in garlic (5,448.6 μg/kg) and ochratoxin in onion (9.25 μg/kg), which exceeded the permissible limits, thus pointing to potential health risks associated with the consumption of these vegetables.

“…The incidence of Aflatoxins in crops is supposed to be strong encouragement by weather during and after the cultivating time. An environmental variation is probably led to intensification in hot and dry spells and improved risk of AFs contamination in food commodities (Duchenne, Ranghoo-Sanmukhiya, & Neetoo, 2021).…”

A wide variety of local crops and food products contain aflatoxins (AFs), which are food pollutants. The species of Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus create them under favorable conditions, such as high temperature and moisture, and they are extremely poisonous and carcinogenic. The distribution of aflatoxins (AFs) contamination in food commodities varies throughout the year due to specific temperatures and humidity in each month. Therefore, the present study was designed to assess humidity & temperature effects of each month’s Aflatoxins occurrences in rice. In this regard, 120 basmati rice samples were collected from various rice vendors during a different period in 2021 and quantified the AFs contamination using high pressure liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection and Kobra Cell™ Derivatization. About 72% of samples were found contaminated with Aflatoxins, ranging from 0.36–6.35 µgkg-1 and an average of 1.31 µgkg-1. Furthermore, in 95% samples contain AFs levels lower than the maximum tolerable limit (MTL = 4 µgkg-1) as suggested by European Union. Furthermore, 67% samples contained AFs levels ranging from 0.36–4.0 µgkg-1. However, only 5% samples exhibit AFs contamination ranging between 4.0–6.35 µgkg-1. Moreover, as per United States (FDA and FAO) and Pakistan (PSQCA) standards, all the samples were below than MTL of 20 µgkg-1 as. During the entire study, AFs contamination in basmati rice seems to differ monthly due to climatic variations. During the month of July, samples were found highly contaminated (5.15 µgkg-1), August (6.35 µgkg-1) and September (4.84 µgkg-1), as a highly humid condition in these months. It was concluded that in Pakistani rice was found safe for human consumption as the level of AFs is within limits and could be exported to other countries. However, the AFs contamination is highly influenced by climatic conditions.
