“…The presence of these toxins in food and feed diminish liver and/or kidney functions. Aspergillus-derived mycotoxins in the feed and food chain have been recently reviewed in several publications [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51].…”

The high cytotoxicity of the secondary metabolites of mycotoxins is capable of killing microbes and tumour cells alike, similarly to the genotoxic effect characteristic of Janus-faced molecules. The “double-edged sword” effect of several cytotoxins is known, and these agents have, therefore, been utilized only reluctantly against fungal infections. In this review, consideration was given to (a) toxins that could be used against plant and human pathogens, (b) animal models that measure the effect of antifungal agents, (c) known antifungal agents that have been described and efficiently prevent the growth of fungal cells, and (d) the chemical interactions that are characteristic of antifungal agents. The utilization of apoptotic effects against tumour growth by agents that, at the same time, induce mutations may raise ethical issues. Nevertheless, it deserves consideration despite the mutagenic impact of Janus-faced molecules for those patients who suffer from plant pathogenic fungal infections and are older than their fertility age, in the same way that the short-term cytotoxicity of cancer treatment is favoured over the long-term mutagenic effect.

Aflatoxin, a mycotoxin found commonly in maize, peanuts, and sunflower worldwide, is associated with liver cancer, acute toxicosis, and growth impairment in humans and animals. In India, sunflower seeds are a source of snacks, cooking oil, and animal feed. These seeds are a potential source of aflatoxin contamination. However, reports on aflatoxin contamination in sunflower seeds and cakes are scarce. The objective of the current study was to determine the potential of Aspergillus flavus and total aflatoxin concentrations in sunflower seeds and cakes from small-scale oil processors in Rohilkhand region of Uttar Pradesh. 126 cultures of Aspergillus flavus were obtained from sunflower kernels, which showed wide variation in their cultural characters. Colour of conidial heads being a stable character was used to divide them into four groups out of which two representative isolates each, based on minimum and maximum number of sclerotia cm-2 of the culture medium were selected. Aflatoxin production by an isolate had positive correlation with the sclerotia production. These results can help in identifying the potent of A. flavus isolates for aflatoxin production and developing proper management strategies. In summary, humans and animals are potentially at high risk of exposure to aflatoxins through sunflower seeds and cakes from micro-scale millers in India and location influences risk.
