Highlights
- Fermentation increased the contents of crude fiber, and ash but reduced the moisture and fat contents. It can have a significant impact on the nutritional composition of the different biscuits, as demonstrated by the proximate analysis results.
- The fermented and the unfermented biscuits samples had similar protein content (11.918±0.08 and 9.074±0.09%, respectively).
- Fermentation enhanced the potassium bioavailability of the products from 19.803±0.00 to 25.264±0.05 ppm).
- Flavonoid content was more in the fermented mix 5 (23.85%) than the unfermented mix 2 that has a value of (18.14%).

Highlights
- Fungi of five genera, Alternaria, Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Fusarium, and Penicillium, were isolated in corn and wheat from Albania.
- The most abundant resulted the Penicillium (77.89%), followed by Fusarium (74.73%) and Aspergillus genera (72.63%).
- The maximum Aflatoxin B1 level in corn was found to be 69.12 μg/kg, with an incidence of 88.23%; in contrast, wheat, 0.402 μg/kg, and incidence of 4.91%.
- Referring to the corn consumed as food, 41.18% of samples exceeded the European Union Maximum Residue Level (5 μg/kg), and intended as feed, 32.25% exceeded the European Union Maximum Residue Level (20 μg/kg).
- Estimated Daily Intake indicates that Aflatoxin B1 chronic exposure from contaminated corn is considerably higher than wheat consumption by Albanians.
