Summary: The study evaluated the mineral and chemical composition of two selected bentonites, characterized their adsorption capacity for aflatoxin B-1 (AfB(1)), and assessed their safety and efficacy as amendments for aflatoxin-contaminated feed for broiler chickens. The results showed that the bentonites effectively sequestrate aflatoxins and improve the body weight of the chickens, but do not eliminate the total toxicity of highly contaminated poultry feed.

Summary: The efficient magnetic adsorbent Fe3O4@ATP, prepared by dispersing Fe3O4 nanoparticles on attapulgite, showed a high removal efficiency of 86.82% for AFB(1) from contaminated oils. With paramagnetic properties and good adsorption kinetics, it exhibited potential for practical applications in AFB(1) elimination from oils.

Summary: Aflatoxins are toxic substances commonly found in contaminated commodities and pose a health risk to humans and animals. This study developed a novel NH2-Zn(BDC)(DMF)MOF composite with high adsorption capacity for AFB1, showing potential for use as an effective adsorbent for Aflatoxin removal.

Summary: The study evaluated activated charcoal for its ability to reduce immune suppression caused by Aflatoxin B1 in broiler chickens. The results showed that the dietary addition of activated charcoal could alleviate the toxic effects of AFB1 on immune responses and histological lesions at lower contamination levels, but was less effective at higher levels of dietary AFB1.

Summary: The objective of this network meta-analysis was to determine the efficacy of different mycotoxin binders (MTB) to reduce aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) in milk. A literature search identified 28 papers with 131 data points, and the binders used in the studies were hydrated sodium calcium aluminosilicate (HS CAS), yeast cell wall (YCW), bentonite, and mixes of several MTB (MX). The results showed that all MTB reduced the AFM1 transfer into milk, with bentonite having the highest capacity and YCW the lowest.

Summary: The study indicated the potential of yeast cell wall-based adsorbent in reducing the absorption of AFB1 and protecting against its contamination, showing improved animal performance and health. Binders were found to decrease the absorption of AFB1 in the small intestine and colon compared to the control diet, reducing the accumulation of AFB1 in the animals' body.

Summary: In vitro experiments were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of two new biosorbents (lettuce and field horsetail) in removing aflatoxin B-1 (AFB(1)). Lettuce showed the highest ability against AFB(1) removal at pH 7. This study demonstrated that chemical and physical mechanisms were involved in the adsorption process of AFB(1)-loaded biosorbents.

Summary: In this study, target-triggered magnetic nanoporous carbon-upconversion nanoparticles (Fe3O4@NPC-UCNPs) assembly was used to build a novel fluorescence biosensor for sensitive detection of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). The designed fluorescence biosensor allowed quantitative detection as low as 0.56 pg/mL with a wide linear range of detection from 0.1 to 10 ng/mL. The light-activated Fe3O4@NPC-UCNPs assembly could oxidize the substrate using O-2 as an oxidant, avoiding the use of unstable H2O2 and providing higher accuracy in biosensing applications.

Summary: Treatment of raw Ca-based montmorillonite with H2SO4, calcination, and organic compounds showed that surfactants intercalation (CPC and HTAB) significantly improved the adsorption efficiency for AFB1 and ZEA, but not for DON. Surfactant-modified montmorillonites maintained high adsorption efficiency for AFB1 and ZEA even in the presence of vitamin B6 or lysine, while showing low efficiency for DON due to its molecular geometry.

Summary: In recent years, there has been a growing concern about milk pollution by aflatoxin M1 due to the increasing prevalence of aflatoxins in animal feeding and dairy product consumption. A study was conducted to determine the transfer of aflatoxin B1 into milk and its effects on production and serological parameters in goats. Goats were exposed to different doses of aflatoxin B1 for 31 days and the concentration of aflatoxin M1 in milk was found to significantly increase with the amount of aflatoxin B1 ingested. However, the ingested amount did not affect the aflatoxin M1 carryover, indicating a certain resistance of goats to the effects of aflatoxin B1.
