Several species of filamentous fungi have the ability to synthesize highly toxic secondary metabolites named mycotoxins. Within this group there are aflatoxins, which are ubiquitous in food and extremely toxic to both humans and animals. For this reason, decontamination strategies based on physical, chemical, and biological procedures have been investigated and developed. Generally, physical strategies are highly effective, mainly with the use of adsorbent materials. Adsorbents are compounds with the ability to bind mycotoxins, thus limiting their absorption in the gastrointestinal tract of animals. However, one of the disadvantages of inorganic adsorbents is the sorption of micronutrients from the diet and/or the release of toxic components. Consequently, this review provides an overview of the aflatoxins and their effects on animals, as well the effectiveness of certain plant-derived materials for their adsorption. Finally, conclusions and future research needs are presented.
