Aflatoxins (AF), a group of closely related, extremely toxic mycotoxins, produced by Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus can occur as natural contaminants of foods and feeds. Aflatoxins have been shown to be hepatotoxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic to different animal species. Zizyphus spina-christi L. extract was investigated for its antifungal and antimicrobial activities. The ...

ABSTRACT. The recent research focused on the green synthesis of silicon dioxide nanoparticles, SiO2@Cellulose Zizyphus Spina-Christi nanocomposites, and L-Arginine@SiO2@Cellulose nanocomposites using cellulose as a new polymeric surfactant. structures nanoparticles were characterized by different spectroscopy microscopy techniques. Nanoparticles utilized to determine concentration chromium, cad...
