Survey of Ochratoxin a in Coffee, Dried Grapes and Grape Pekmez Samples in Burdur, Turkey
The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence and levels of ochratoxin A (OTA) in coffee (roasted and instant), dried grapes and grape pekmez samples consumed in Burdur city markets. During 2015, a total of 86 samples including 43 coffee (30 instant coffee and 13 roasted coffee), 17 dried grapes and 26 grape pekmez were randomly collected from different markets of Burdur. The occurrence and contamination levels of OTA in the samples were investigated by the competitive enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA) method. OTA
