This book was released on 2015 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aflatoxins (AFs) are carcinogenic, secondary metabolites of the molds Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus and contaminate grains and oil seeds, particularly maize and peanuts. The risk of AF contamination exists along entire peanut and maize value chains where climate is suitable, typically among tropical and sub-tropical areas. A value chain is the complete array of activities required to produce and deliver a commodity to consumers, including intermediary processing and storage. In the Caribbean country of Haiti, capacity to prevent human exposure to toxic substances, both natural and xenobiotic, is limited. The present dissertation examined: 1) constraints to AF control among peanut farmers in Haiti; 2) contamination in maize and peanut products, as well as edible oil production as an alternative process to salvage a safe, value-added product from contaminated peanuts; and 3) human exposure to AF among urban and rural communities. My formative survey of 109 peanut farmers in the North and North East Departments underscored a constrained agronomic and socio-economic context under which farmers lacked access to credit, irrigation, pesticides, and other agricultural inputs necessary to improve production and food safety. Twentythree farmers were familiar with AFs or the fungi that produce them. AF analysis of foods sampled from 2012 to 2013 showed that samples of peanuts (3/21), peanut butter (30/32), and maize (1/30) exceeded the US Food and Drug Administration limit for AFs in human foods (20 [mu]g total AFs/kg). AF concentration was greatest in peanut butters (median of 137 [mu]g/kg and maximum of 2720 [mu]g/kg). Experiments to determine residual AFs in oil pressed from contaminated peanuts showed that 5% the AF concentration of the original kernels remained in the oil. Ethanol extraction further reduced AF concentration to 10% that of the pre-extraction oil. Among Haitians screened for AF biomarkers, detection of AF-lysine in circulating blood albumin was associated with recalled frequency of peanut consumption (p=0.0486) but not maize consumption (p=0.2032). Detection of urinary AFM1 was more significantly associated with consumption of peanuts the day prior to study participation (p

This book was released on 2016-12-31 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report reveals that substantial knowledge is available about the aflatoxin challenge that plagues African farmers, other agri-entrepreneurs, and governments. Commissioned by the ACP-EU Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation (CTA) in collaboration with the African Union Commission - Partnership for Aflatoxin Control in Africa (PACA), this literature review reveals that a wide range of commodities that are traded nationally, regionally and internationally are contaminated by aflatoxins. African citizens and economies are negatively impacted as a result.

This book was released on 2018-06-11 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FAO provides countries with technical support to conduct nutrition assessments, in particular to build the evidence base required for countries to achieve commitments made at the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2) and under the 2016-2025 UN Decade of Action on Nutrition. Such concrete evidence can only derive from precise and valid measures of what people eat and drink. There is a wide range of dietary assessment methods available to measure food and nutrient intakes (expressed as energy insufficiency, diet quality and food patterns etc.) in diet and nutrition surveys, in impact surveys, and in monitoring and evaluation. Differenct indicators can be selected according to a study's objectives, sample population, costs and required precision. In low capacity settings, a number of other issues should be considered (e.g. availability of food composition tables, cultural and community specific issues, such as intra-household distribution of foods and eating from shared plates, etc.). This manual aims to signpost for the users the best way to measure food and nutrient intakes and to enhance their understanding of the key features, strengths and limitations of various methods. It also highlights a number of common methodological considerations involved in the selection process. Target audience comprises of individuals (policy-makers, programme managers, educators, health professionals including dietitians and nutritionists, field workers and researchers) involved in national surveys, programme planning and monitoring and evaluation in low capacity settings, as well as those in charge of knowledge brokering for policy-making.
