Abstract Aflatoxins (AFTs) are a group of closely related toxins that are produced by different fungus species. Food and feed contamination with AFT is a worldwide health-related problem. AFB1 is considered to possess the highest toxicity among various types of secondary metabolites produced by a larger number of Aspergillus spp, and classified as a group I carcinogen for humans by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Since black tea possesses strong antioxidant activity, it protects cells and tissues against oxidative stress. Curcumin (CMN), a naturally occurring agent, has a combination of biological and pharmacological properties that include antioxidant activity. |
