Aflatoxin G1 is primarily associated with contamination in agricultural products, especially in crops such as corn, peanuts, and tree nuts under warm and humid storage conditions. It serves no beneficial industrial or commercial application due to its high toxicity and carcinogenicity. Its main significance lies in food safety monitoring, where it acts as a critical marker for assessing mold contamination by Aspergillus species. Regulatory agencies use detection of Aflatoxin G1 to enforce limits in food and animal feed, helping prevent liver damage and cancer risks in humans and livestock. It is also used in research settings to study mycotoxin formation, detoxification methods, and the mechanisms of carcinogenesis.
