Comprendere la natura per ottenere cibo più sano

Comprendere la natura per ottenere cibo più sano

Some fungi can grow on plants produce toxic substances for humans and animals. The most dangerous is aflatoxin, produced by the fungus Aspergillus flavus in corn, peanuts and pistachios. It is a carcinogenic and immunodepressive substance. In the natural population of Aspergillus flavus there are also individuals that do not produce the toxin. Therefore it was decided to select these "good" individuals and distribute them on the field to avoid the development of bad ones. Now there is a product that distributed in the field reduces aflatoxin contamination up to over 90%. So several food products are safe.
