Journal's Global Impact Factor Records
![]()
The journal's Global Impact Factor (GIF) is calculated according to the standard formula published by
Clarivate Analytics (previously ISI).
The following is an example for calculation of 2022 GIF for regular issue.
A = 32 citations (number of times regular articles published in 2021 and 2020, cited in 2022). B = 39 articles (total number of regular articles published in 2021 and 2020). A/B = 0.821 (GIF of regular issue for 2022). GIF for previous years were calculated using similar method and the value is announced in July of the relevant year. The journal was established in 2014. NOTE: Raw data used in this calculation can be accessed from the journal’s citation records by Google Scholar for verifications by third parties.

Abstract
The effects of climate change highlight concerns about food safety, including fungal contaminants, some of which could
produce toxic compounds. Toxigenic fungi are expected to become more prevalent with climate change. This paper summarized
the common fungal microflora of corn seeds and milled-corn products, focusing on the postharvest stage. The commonly
produced mycotoxin groups and toxin-mitigating measures were also discussed. Commonly reported fungal species associated
with corn seeds and milled products belong to the genera Aspergillus (A. flavus, A. niger, A. fumigatus,
A. terreus, A. parasiticus, A. ochraceous, A. candidus), Fusarium (F. verticillioides, F. proliferatum),
Penicillium (P. citrinum), Alternaria (A. alternata) and Eurotium (E. chevalieri). Six mycotoxin groups
are associated with these fungal contaminants and have been detected in corn seeds. These mycotoxins were
aflatoxin, fumonisin, ochratoxin, nivalenol, zearalenone, and cyclopiazonic acid. The presence of fungi
does not necessarily indicate the presence of mycotoxins. Several factors affect these toxic metabolites' production,
such as the fungal strains, substrate composition, moisture content, aeration, temperatures, and other storage conditions.
This review provides a consolidated account of fungi detected and isolated from corn seeds and milled corn products.
