Abstract

The presence of Aspergillus mycotoxins has been confirmed in various feed and food. They represent a hidden threat that cannot be completely prevented. In animal husbandry, they impair their productive health and, in human nutrition, they can cause acute or chronic health complications. This article provides an overview of the most important secondary metabolites of the genus Aspergillus in terms of their occurrence, toxicity and physico-chemical properties.
