In this paper certain natural minerals (zeolite, apatite, diatomite, sepiolite, kaolin etc.) are emphasized, thanks to their physical and chemical characteristics, in natural or modified/refined form, they can be very good adsorbents of: mycotoxins, toxic metals, radionuclide, ammonia and other unacceptable matters. They can help by providing nutrients to plants and animals. Eminently there are certain convictions that particular aluminosilicate minerals, because of high content of SiO2 and convenient content of pH, can be used for drying and storage protection of wheat from insects. Although they react slower than synthetic insecticides, main benefit for their apply as inert farrows is that they have natural source and that they have non-toxic influence on mammals. It is concluded that aluminosilicate minerals lessen or eliminate detrimental influence of suppressive factors. Those factors destruct reproductive capabilities and helth of herbs and animals, also quality of their products. According to this aluminosilicate minerals are contributing to the production of food with high quality and safety and environmental protection.

Key words: safe food; harmful matters; aluminosilicate raw mineral materials; soil; plants; animals
