ndash Aflatoxin B1 is highly mutagenic probablythrough mechanisms of epoxidation resultingin covalent binding to DNA

ndash A specific mutation at the third base ofcodon 249 of the tumor-suppressor gene p53has been described in HCC tissue and

significantly associated with exposure toaflatoxin B1

Available options for solving the

problem

Once food is contaminated with toxins there are only two options

if the food is to be used

ndash the toxin can be removed

ndash the toxin can be degraded into less toxic or non-toxic

compounds

Control measures

bullChemical control (eg ammoniation)

- health effects are not fully studied

bullMonitoring AF levels and rejection of produce

WHY CHINAbull Primary liver cancer (PLC) is one of the most common cancers in

China

bull There more than 250000 new cases diagnosed yearly with livercancer in China

bull The mortality rates both in rural and urban areas are 25 and 21per 100 000 respectively in the EU 3 per 100000

bull The ain 3 actors or the de elo ent o li er cancer are

prevalent in China Aflatoxins are consistent contaminants of thefood supply in China HBV and HCV are endemics in China

bull 500000000 individual infected with HBV(250000000 in China)

bull 170000000 individuals infected with HCV(10000000 in China)

bull 1000000 individuals dies annually because of complicationassociated with HBV similar figure also expected for HCV

(250000 in China)

Available options for solving the

problem

Once food is contaminated with toxins there are only two options

if the food is to be used

ndash the toxin can be removed

ndash the toxin can be degraded into less toxic or non-toxic

compounds

WHY CHINAbull Primary liver cancer (PLC) is one of the most common cancers in

China

bull There more than 250000 new cases diagnosed yearly with livercancer in China

bull The mortality rates both in rural and urban areas are 25 and 21per 100 000 respectively in the EU 3 per 100000

bull The ain 3 actors or the de elo ent o li er cancer are

prevalent in China Aflatoxins are consistent contaminants of thefood supply in China HBV and HCV are endemics in China

bull 500000000 individual infected with HBV(250000000 in China)

bull 170000000 individuals infected with HCV(10000000 in China)

bull 1000000 individuals dies annually because of complicationassociated with HBV similar figure also expected for HCV

(250000 in China)

WHY CHINAbull Primary liver cancer (PLC) is one of the most common cancers in

China

bull There more than 250000 new cases diagnosed yearly with livercancer in China

bull The mortality rates both in rural and urban areas are 25 and 21per 100 000 respectively in the EU 3 per 100000

bull The ain 3 actors or the de elo ent o li er cancer are

prevalent in China Aflatoxins are consistent contaminants of thefood supply in China HBV and HCV are endemics in China

bull 500000000 individual infected with HBV(250000000 in China)

bull 170000000 individuals infected with HCV(10000000 in China)

bull 1000000 individuals dies annually because of complicationassociated with HBV similar figure also expected for HCV

(250000 in China)

WHY CHINAbull Primary liver cancer (PLC) is one of the most common cancers in

China

bull There more than 250000 new cases diagnosed yearly with livercancer in China

bull The mortality rates both in rural and urban areas are 25 and 21per 100 000 respectively in the EU 3 per 100000

bull The ain 3 actors or the de elo ent o li er cancer are

prevalent in China Aflatoxins are consistent contaminants of thefood supply in China HBV and HCV are endemics in China

bull 500000000 individual infected with HBV(250000000 in China)

bull 170000000 individuals infected with HCV(10000000 in China)

bull 1000000 individuals dies annually because of complicationassociated with HBV similar figure also expected for HCV

(250000 in China)

Once food is contaminated with toxins there are only two options

if the food is to be used

ndash the toxin can be removed

ndash the toxin can be degraded into less toxic or non-toxic

compounds

ndash the toxin can be removed

ndash the toxin can be degraded into less toxic or non-toxic
