Aflatoxin G1(Cat No.:R010789)is a highly toxic and carcinogenic compound produced by certain molds, primarily Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus, often contaminating crops like peanuts, corn, and other grains. It belongs to the aflatoxin family and is known for its blue-green fluorescence under UV light. Aflatoxin G1 poses serious health risks, including liver damage and an increased risk of liver cancer, particularly when consumed over time. Due to its stability and toxicity, Aflatoxin G1 is rigorously monitored in food safety, and it is extensively studied in toxicology and cancer research for risk assessment and prevention.
