Detection of aflatoxin B in chili powder using attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.

Aflatoxin B, a major global food safety concern, is produced by toxigenic fungi during crop growing, drying, and storage, and shows increasing annual prevalence. This study aimed to detect aflatoxin B in chili samples using ATR-FTIR coupled with machine learning algorithms. We found that 83.
