The enterosorbents were characterized via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) to obtain information about the surface functional groups, microstructure, multi-elemental composition, degree of crystallinity, and phase analysis. The potential of the enterosorbents in decreasing aflatoxin uptake and bioavailability under simulated gastrointestinal conditions (including the replication of chemical and enzymatic factors) was estimated using the isotherm models of Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin-Radushkevich. Under the simulated gastric and intestinal conditions, marigold removed almost all the mycotoxin at doses of 0.25 and 0.125% (w/w); however, guava leaves efficiently adsorbed the toxin when using doses up to 0.5 and 0.25% (w/w), respectively. Equilibrium adsorption data followed preferentially the Freundlich model, the values of the Freundlich constant (K_F) for marigold were 37.3 and 7.1 times higher than those of guava leaves, respectively.

Considering the growing consumption of plant-based foods, the European Food Safety Authority has highlighted the need to develop risk assessment strategies. This work focused on the optimization of extraction efficiency, to quantify the main ergot alkaloids and their epimers, that are available on the market without any legal restriction (ergosine, ergocristine, ergocriptyne, ergocornine, ergosinine, ergocristinine, ergocriptinine and ergocorninine). Considering the quantification of 8 out of 12 regulated compounds by EU (sum of -ine and -inine forms), this approach can be defined as a screening method for a reliable estimation of the risk, specifically devoted to industrial stakeholders that can then possibly outsource to authorized external labs only the samples suspected of significant positivity.

It was conducted in Nyagatare district, peri-urban areas of Kigali (Center), and Huye district (South) with 42 farmers randomly selected from a previous study evenly divided into control and intervention groups.
