Researchers help to control cancer-causing poison in corn Study introduces X-ray irradiation as sterilization method for contaminated corn.
Corn is frequently contaminated by the fungal toxin aflatoxin B1 , a highly potent carcinogen produced by the fungus Aspergillus flavus.
Climate change is believed to exacerbate the threat posed by aflatoxins by expanding the geographic range of aflatoxin-producing fungi.
Economic burden caused by mycotoxin contamination is considerable, particularly in the developing world.
Results open new avenues for safely handling and researching contaminated food products without compromising the structural and chemical properties.
