The study results revealed that initially aflatoxin contamination occurs on the shell, with little contamination on the kernel.
However, as the infection increases, the level of contamination on the kernel increases dramatically, while the contamination of the shells remains at a relatively low level.
The agency is working on developing a conversion factor which could allow the estimation of aflatoxins levels in the kernel when the concentration in the whole nut is measured.
The latest research
