Description
Viola O Okechukwu and co-authors published a review in 2026 on finding mycotoxins, poisons made by molds, in food and animal feed. These poisons can harm the liver, kidneys, and immune system, and they threaten trade and public health. The review compares lab methods with newer sensor tools.
Standard lab methods are accurate and sensitive but costly, slow, and tied to specialist sites. Sensors based on electricity, light, vibration, or gas offer fast, portable, and cheaper checks for use in the field. The review gives special weight to gases given off by growing mold as an early warning sign. The authors see real-time sensor checks as a strong path to safer food and feed.
