Abstract

Combining sustainable development with the conservation of the Amazon Forest is a challenge, and one of the strategies could be the strengthening of production chains, such as Brazil nuts. In this context, good practices can be applied to promote the sanitary quality of the seed, in which the presence of a carcinogenic contaminant, aflatoxin, is a continuous issue as it can cause economic embargoes on the product. So, the study aimed to analyse the relationship between several variables for 3 harvests that affected the production of aflatoxin. The results were statistically significant for all extrinsic variables and indicated that treatments with and without good management practices, and interaction between factors influenced the greater occurrence of aflatoxin. Moisture content, as an intrinsic variable to the food, indicated a significant association with Brazil nut contamination
