To isolate the Aflatoxin producing Aspergillus species in different infected food materials, ground nuts, maize and coconut endosperm are infected with different types of fungal species in which some are contaminated with aflatoxin producing aspergillus species. The aflatoxin production was observed the plates are exposed to UV light followed TLC method. Then the aflatoxin producing species are identified by their growth on coconut agar medium blue fluorescence was observed when exposed to a UV-light, Aflatoxins are highly toxic, carcinogenic compounds produced by certain fungi (Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus) that grow on crops, particularly in warm, humid conditions. They commonly contaminate ground nuts, maize, coconut, peanuts, corn, tree nuts, and spices, posing serious liver cancer risks to humans and animals.
