Abstract

Aflatoxin contamination poses a significant challenge to global food safety, public health, and agricultural sustainability. Traditional methods for mitigating aflatoxins, such as chemical and physical detoxification techniques, often raise concerns about environmental harm, nutrient loss, and potential toxicity. In contrast, green-synthesized nanomaterials have emerged as an environmentally friendly and effective solution for controlling aflatoxins. This study explores the potential of green-synthesized nanomaterials for aflatoxin mitigation, focusing on their mechanisms of action, effectiveness, and long-term applicability in agricultural and food safety contexts. A comprehensive review of 116 articles on the latest developments in green nanotechnology was used, focusing on the creation, characterization, and application of nanoparticles, including silver, zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, and iron-based nanomaterials. Green nanoparticles reduce aflatoxin load primarily through their antioxidant properties, which neutralize oxidative stress, and their high adsorption capacity, which binds aflatoxins and reduces their bioavailability. Photocatalytic degradation, adsorption, and enzymatic detoxification were also evaluated. The results indicate that green-synthesized nanoparticles exhibit high efficacy, biocompatibility, and minimal environmental impact, especially when compared to traditional detoxification methods. However, challenges such as nanoparticle stability, large-scale production, regulatory issues, and potential long-term toxicity still require further investigation. To advance this field, future studies should focus on refining green synthesis processes, enhancing nanoparticle stability, and exploring the integration of nanotechnology with biosensors and smart packaging for real-time aflatoxin monitoring. By advancing these sustainable technologies, this research aims to contribute to the development of effective and safe methods for aflatoxin mitigation, thereby supporting global food security, public health, and environmental sustainability.

绿色合成纳米材料用于黄曲霉毒素抑制研究进展
黄曲霉毒素污染对全球食品安全、公共卫生和农业可持续性构成重大挑战。减轻黄曲霉毒素的传统方法,如化学和物理解毒技术,经常引起对环境危害、营养损失和潜在毒性的担忧。相比之下,绿色合成的纳米材料已经成为控制黄曲霉毒素的一种环保和有效的解决方案。本研究探讨了绿色合成纳米材料减缓黄曲霉毒素的潜力,重点关注其作用机制、有效性以及在农业和食品安全背景下的长期适用性。本文对116篇关于绿色纳米技术最新发展的文章进行了全面回顾,重点介绍了纳米粒子的创造、表征和应用,包括银、氧化锌、二氧化钛和铁基纳米材料。绿色纳米颗粒减少黄曲霉毒素负荷主要是通过它们的抗氧化特性(可以中和氧化应激)和高吸附能力(可以结合黄曲霉毒素并降低其生物利用度)。光催化降解、吸附和酶解毒也进行了评价。结果表明,与传统的解毒方法相比,绿色合成的纳米颗粒具有较高的功效、生物相容性和最小的环境影响。然而,诸如纳米颗粒稳定性、大规模生产、监管问题和潜在的长期毒性等挑战仍需要进一步研究。为了进一步推进这一领域的研究,未来的研究应集中在改进绿色合成工艺,提高纳米颗粒的稳定性,探索纳米技术与生物传感器和智能包装的结合,以实现黄曲霉毒素的实时监测。通过推进这些可持续技术,本研究旨在促进开发有效和安全的黄曲霉毒素缓解方法,从而支持全球粮食安全、公共卫生和环境可持续性。
