AB  - This study investigated the effectiveness of the ultraviolet irradiation of the C region (UV–C) for the decontamination of Aspergillus flavus and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) on artificially inoculated maize and peanut using innovative decontamination equipment that supports vibrations to achieve semi-fluidization of the grain/kernel material and getting equal irradiation of all surfaces of irradiated foods. UV irradiation is a non-thermal alternative to thermal processes commonly used in food processing with a well-known effect on AFB1 degradation. Samples of maize and peanut were exposed to UV-C irradiation with a total dose in the range of 1080–8370 mJ/cm2. Analysis by Tracker and ImageJ software confirmed the even distribution of irradiation on all surfaces during the entire duration of exposure. The highest reduction of A. flavus count was observed after ten days of incubation and irradiation treatment delivering a dose of 8370 mJ/cm2 achieving A. flavus count reduction of 4.4 log CFU/g in maize and 3.1 log CFU/g in peanut. Depending on the treatment, AFB1 reduction level in maize ranged from 17 to 43% and in peanut ranged from 14 to 51%. Sensory and physical testing of the peanut samples showed only minimal changes in the evaluated characteristics caused by different levels of the UV-C treatment. Presented results demonstrate a potential for the use of the presented approach as an effective reduction strategy for both A. flavus and AFB1 in maize and peanut.

AB  - Within this study, food safety management systems for wheat and maize, and derived white wheat flour and maize flour, have been evaluated, considering different prevention and practical intervention measures to be applied during storage and processing. For this purpose, through an operational flow chart, authors have performed mycotoxin-hazard analysis in the pre- and post-harvest phases and applied Food Safety Objective (FSO) and Performance Objective (PO) concept. Mycotoxin-hazard and analysis of control measures in the pre-harvest operations indicated that the most important practices at pre-harvest level for the control of mycotoxins in wheat/maize chain may include: (i) land preparation, such as tillage, cover crop and crop rotation, (ii) planting and antifungal mulch treatment, application of botanical extracts and intercropping, (iii) application of fungal biocontrol agents to reduce aflatoxins and (iv) application of fungal and bacterial biocontrol agents. For the post-harvest operations one Critical Control Point (CCP) and five Control Points (CPs) have been determined. The CCP includes an intervention measure that can be applied during storage, such as the application of treatments with volatile bioactive compounds, cold plasma, ozonisation or UV treatment. The results of FSO/PO analysis applied to wheat/maize chain revealed that FSO (the maximum level of mycotoxins in final food products given in European legislation) could be reached by combining conventional production steps such as cleaning and milling with different intervention strategies. For all strategies presented here, application on actual food production site must take into account local specificities and its interaction with climatic conditions.

AB  - Classified as Group 1 carcinogens aflatoxins (AFs) are of major concern for food safety and public health. Within the AFs group, aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) occurs at the highest levels in different food products and is considered as the most potent representative. A total of 463 samples of products susceptible to contamination with AFB1 and commonly consumed in Serbia were collected and analyzed. Consumption surveys were performed using a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and 24-h recall-based method. Monte Carlo simulation of 100,000 iterations was performed to estimate the intake of AFB1 through each food category, while a simple distribution approach was performed to estimate overall exposure of tested population groups. Risk characterization was performed by calculation of the Margin of Exposure (MOE) and by calculation of the number of possible hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cases. The highest exposure was observed in children with the mean overall estimated daily intake (EDI) in the range of 0.79–1.10 and 1.20–1.66 ng kg−1 bw day−1, followed by adolescents 0.56–0.81 and 0.94–1.32 ng kg−1 bw day−1, adult females 0.52–0.72 and 0.56–0.76 ng kg−1 bw day−1 and adult males with the mean overall EDI in the range of 0.39–0.56 and 0.47–0.66 ng kg−1 bw day−1 depending on consumption survey method and for the lower (LB) and upper bound (UB) scenario. MOE values that resulted from the mean values of the overall EDI of AFB1 were low, indicating high concern for all population groups. Based on obtained mean values of the overall EDI higher estimates of possible HCC cases caused by exposure to AFB1 were in the range of 0.01–0.02 cases/year/105 individuals, depending on the population group.
