Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to review the occurrence, analytical methods and reduction methods of aflatoxins in foods. Aflatoxins are produced by the secondary metabolism of various fungal species and have the highest toxicity among mycotoxins. Due to their toxicity including carcinogenic activity, aflatoxins affect not only the health of humans ana animals but also the economics of agriculture and food. As a food-importing country, because aflatoxins could contaminate raw commodities and foodstuffs, there should be inspection on the exposure and the regulation of risk assessment as a food safety measure. In addition, studies on rapid analytical methods and reduction of toxicity by various processes for aflatoxins should be carried out in conjunction with those of the risk assessment of aflatoxins.

이 논문에서는 식품 또는 식품원료 중의 aflatoxin에 관한 오염현황, 최신 분석법 그리고 저감화 시킬 수 있는 방안에 대해 조명하였다. Aflatoxin은 여러 곰팡이가 생성하는 2차 대사산물로서 곰팡이 독소 중 가장 독성이 강한 것으로 알려져 있다. 발암성을 포함한 독성 관계로 aflatoxin은 인간의 건강 측면 뿐 아니라 식품을 포함한 산업전반에 경제적으로 큰 영향을 끼치고 있다. 우리나라와 같은 식량 수입국에서는 식품의 안전성 확보를 위해 노출량 조사, 위해평가 및 관리가 체계적으로 이루어져야 하며 아울러 새로운 aflatoxin 분석 기술의 개발과 독성 저감화 기술의 개발이 병행되어야 한다고 판단된다.
