Case study 2; Submitted in
partial fulfilment of the requirements for ITP Food
Safety
Quality Assurance systems and
Risk Analysis
December/12/2018.
This
study was supposed to be limited in area of capital region of Yaoundé to assess
hazard of Aflatoxin B1 particular in dry maize and maize floor, food based in
home cooked process. To achieve this work 20 samples were collectedin five
markets in the area of Yaoundé: four samples per market:Mokolo, Huitième,
Essos, Mvogbi, and Mfoundi.the 20 samples were analysed in the IMPM
laboratories by ELISA method but the concentrations results were between
0.5>1>LOD =1ppb for 19 samples only one sample =20ppb.
Due to
the fact that the datas were unusual, to establish a deterministic approach, we
used the following datas of (Ediage and
al., 2014 in A Comprehensive Study To Explore
Differences in Mycotoxin Patterns from Agro-ecological
Regions through Maize, Peanut, and Cassava Products: A Case Study, Cameroon).The datas were analysed with software @RISK version 6and result’s
comparation with standard and literatures reviews. We have considerate only the
datas of maize with an assumption of three agro-ecological areas HFM, HFB and
WH with exposure of (371; 213; 142 ng/kgBW/day). The level of population
exposed to risk of intoxication by Aflatoxin B1fluctuate from 90% to 97% with deterministic approach.
Results
of assessment revealed the high exposure and necessity to reduce aflatoxin
intoxication, the best approach after a proposal of many alternatives is an
integrated method.
