Aflatoxin G1(CAS: 1165-39-5)

Aflatoxin G1 (CAS: 1165-39-5) is a secondary metabolite produced by certain species of Aspergillus fungi, notably Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. It is a yellowish brown, slightly toxic compound that is one of the most potent naturally occurring carcinogens known to science.

Aflatoxin G1 (CAS: 1165-39-5) is primarily studied for its toxic and carcinogenic properties. It is used in research to understand the mechanisms of aflatoxin toxicity and carcinogenesis, and in analytical chemistry for developing methods to detect and quantify aflatoxins in food and feed samples.

Aflatoxin G1 (CAS: 1165-39-5) is not considered safe for human consumption due to its potent carcinogenic and toxic properties. It is important to avoid exposure and to follow strict regulatory guidelines to minimize the risk of contamination in food and feed products.

Aflatoxin G1 (CAS: 1165-39-5) should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent degradation. It is recommended to keep it in a tightly sealed container made of a food-grade material, such as glass or high-density polyethylene, to minimize exposure to moisture and air.
