| Abstract: | Due to their nutritional quality and economic potential, peanut occupies a place of choice in the daily lives of congolese and requires special attention. This investigation reviews relevant research in the DRC and other countries on fungi and the mycotoxins they secrete in food, particularly in peanuts. Although incomplete, data show that Aspergillus is generally the fungal micro-organisms commonly contaminating peanuts marketed in the DRC and other countries. At the same time, the level of these toxins in peanuts is higher than the american aflatoxin standard (20 µgKg-1) and the european standard (4µgKg-1) and varies according to the different fractions: 10-54393 µgKg-1 of aflatoxin B1, 200-21092 µgKg-1 of aflatoxins B2, 217-31029 µgKg-1 of aflatoxins G1 and 230-20193 µgKg-1 for aflatoxins G2. Aflatoxins are the mycotoxins most found in this food, especially since they are the most sought-after. Other toxigenic fungal species can also contaminate peanuts and excrete other mycotoxins such as ochratoxin A (OTA), beauvericin, cyclopiazonic acid, nivalenol, moniliformin, and others. The incidence characterizing the contamination of peanuts by mycotoxigenic species is governed by several environmental factors, the main ones being temperature and moisture. Tropical countries such as the DRC are preferred environments for food development and fungal contamination, especially peanut. Unfortunately, the DRC does not yet have a national policy for the monitoring of these contaminants and the health and economic impact is not yet known. |
