Peanuts (<i>Arachis hypogaea</i> L.) and Mycotoxins: Analytical Approaches, Prevalence, and Innovative Detoxification.

ABSTRACT: Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites originating from several species of fungi that have proven to demonstrate high toxicity. In addition, potential contamination sources can promote increased human exposure to the adverse effects of these toxins. For this reason, it was necessary to develop several analytical methods that allow detection with the highest possible sensitivity for these toxic metabolites. Furthermore, since these methods involve high cost, are lengthy, and have sensitivity requirements, the development of multi-analyte detection methods is indispensable. The increasing consumption of groundnuts (legumes) as well as nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, and pistachios) and dried fruit (raisins and dried figs) has increased the risk of poisoning and the harmful effects of mycotoxin
