Fumonisins in Foods from Cordoba (Argentina), Presence: Mini Review

This review emphasizes, specifically, the determination of fumonisins in different food substrates, made in different commercial centers of Cordoba, Argentina. The importance of reviewing this research is related to public health, since food is part of human development and this must be safe. These contaminations, which we try to determine in different food substrates, in some cases occurred in very small quantities, but in most cases, the consumption is through the children and for long periods of time. Among these foods are those based on corn, this cereal has a great possibility of being contaminated with fumonisins and other mycotoxins as evidenced by research conducted in our country.
