Abstract
Food safety is one of the top-priority directions. In the developed countries the international standards are observed via systematic monitoring and protection of corresponding conditions that to a considerable degree eliminates toxins penetration into the food. However, in the developing countries there is no possibility of using the international regulations, so the food is stored under unacceptable conditions that leads to its contamination. Based on the above mentioned, the considerable part of spread of strong mutagens – aflatoxins falls on storage conditions. Mycotoxins are excreted by molds, so they are the natural pollutants of food products, which may accumulate during storage period, as well. At that time, mycotoxins may enter the food chain: plant – biomass – animal – human. Therefore, the goal of our work is creation of optimum storage conditions for agricultural products in order to not promote development of microscopic fungi entered from the environment and to deliver food products to the customer in unharmed marketable condition. Mycotoxins are one of the most important biogenic toxins, which infect food, and causes mycotoxicosis – toxification of humans and animals when entering their organisms [1,2].
