What Measures Can Be Taken to Reduce Exposure to Aspergillus Mycotoxins?
To mitigate exposure to Aspergillus mycotoxins, several strategies can be implemented. These include proper agricultural practices such as crop rotation and timely harvesting to prevent fungal contamination, as well as post-harvest measures like drying and proper storage to inhibit mold growth. Regulatory standards and routine inspections help ensure that food products meet safety criteria. Additionally, detoxification processes and the use of mycotoxin binders in animal feed can reduce the risk of exposure.
