About
Ferda Seyhan is a leading expert in food safety and mycotoxin risk assessment, with a particular focus on aflatoxin contamination in tree nuts and agricultural commodities. Her seminal work, "Sampling Hazelnuts for Aflatoxin: Uncertainty Associated with Sampling, Sample Preparation, and Analysis" (2006), remains a cornerstone in the field, cited over 20 times for its rigorous investigation into the variability of aflatoxin testing procedures. By analyzing 16 samples from 20 contaminated hazelnut lots, Seyhan quantified the critical uncertainties at each stage—sampling, sample preparation, and analysis—providing essential data for developing more reliable testing protocols. This research has direct implications for global food trade, helping to reduce false negatives and protect public health. Her contributions extend to advancing statistical methods for mycotoxin surveillance, making her work indispensable for regulatory bodies and food safety researchers. Seyhan’s studies continue to inform best practices in post-harvest handling and quality control, solidifying her reputation as a key figure in reducing aflatoxin exposure risks in the food supply chain.
