Aflatoxins (AFTs), as representatives from a group of secondary fungal metabolites known as mycotoxins, are divided into several subgroups based on differing chemical characteristics (Figure 1). As a by-product of their metabolism, Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus produce AFTs including aflatoxin B₁ (AFB₁), aflatoxin B₂ (AFB₂ ), aflatoxin G₁ (AFG₁ ), and aflatoxin G₂ (AFG₂ ). Collectively, the aflatoxins are among the most toxic hepatocarcinogens known (Sporn, 1966).
