In today’s era of rapid population growth, food shortages are one of the most critical issues the world faces. The food waste caused by various pollutants only makes the situation worse.
Aflatoxin is one of the most toxic, widely prevalent, and economically damaging contaminants in nature each year.
Currently, aflatoxin-induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or liver cancer
accounts for approximately 0% of the global burden. Reports indicate that
aflatoxin contamination in agricultural crops may result in an annual loss of
over 750 million in Africa, while in the United States, it causes an annual
income loss exceeding 0 million.
However, current methods for detecting and degrading
AFB1 primarily rely on physical and chemical approaches,
both of which have certain limitations.
Perhaps a solution can be found with…
synthetic biology...?
