Mycotoxin is common defilement in agriculture food commodities which affect both humans and animals and decreases their commercial esteem.. Mycotoxin carcinogenic class Aflatoxins produced by Aspergillus fungi and known to contaminate an expansive portion of the world's agriculture and food supply. The four major Aflatoxins among the identified 20 are AFB1, AFB2, AFG1 and AFG2. The B-types are majorly harmful and are produced by A. flavus while G-types are produced by A. parasiticus. Methods like in vitro digestion and hydrolysis, as applied in the case of masked fumonisins, can be carried out for masked AFs in food and feed followed by detection with LC/MS/MS and confirmation by other methods like ELISA to ensure the food and feed safety.Therefore, biocontrol measures in synchrony with other physical and chemical methods along side improved packaging materials ought to be actualized to accomplish to attain food safety and security
