1 INTRODUCTION Globally, biological and chemical contaminants in food and feed are serious threats to the health of humans and animals (Jafari et al., 2012; Kebede et al., 2020). Aflatoxins are the most well-known group of mycotoxins that are mainly produced by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus (Ismail et al., 2018). Among aflatoxins, types B1, B2, M1, G1, and G2 are more important with respect to food hygiene and safety (Corassin et al., 2022; Zain, 2011).
