Metabolite Identification
Common NameAflatoxin G1
DescriptionAflatoxin G1 is a mycotoxin belonging to the chemical class of aflatoxins, which are secondary metabolites produced by certain molds, particularly Aspergillus species. AFG1, along with its counterparts Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), Aflatoxin B2 (AFB2), and Aflatoxin G2 (AFG2), poses significant health risks due to their widespread contamination in food and feed products, making their detection crucial for food safety (PMID:40443238 ). Studies have shown that AFG1 can be effectively reduced by certain bacteria, which demonstrated over 50% biodegradation in dried figs, while yeasts exhibited limited activity (PMID:40627299 ). The detection of AFG1, along with other aflatoxins, has been facilitated by the development of advanced sensors that showcase excellent universality in identifying these harmful compounds (PMID:39956074 ). Furthermore, dietary exposure assessments have highlighted the risks associated with AFG1 and other mycotoxins through the consumption of fruit juices, underscoring the importance of monitoring these toxins to safeguard human health (PMID:39886046 ). Overall, Aflatoxin G1 is recognized as a significant contaminant with serious implications for food safety and public health (PMID:39588463 ).
