A STUDY ON AFLATOXINS IN VARIOUS FOODS, SPICES AND FEEDSTUFFS BY HIGH PERFORMANCE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY

103 Samples from various food, feedstuff, spices and some other materials were analyzed for aflatoxin levels during 1991-1995. Aflatoxin was found in 5 samples, one of them (peanut butter) was over the accepted limits.In 1960 in the United Kingdom, over one hundred thousand turkeys and ducks died in the course of a few months. Because the causative agent was unknown and the affected animals exhibited similar symptoms, the disease was initially called, 'Turkey "X" Disease ' (1,Z). In 1961 a toxic compound was isolated from moldy agricultural commodities (3) used as ingredients in turkey feed. The molds responsible for the production of aflatoxins are primarily Aspergillus j?uvus Link and Aspel-gillus parasiticus Speare.
