Abstract

Abstract A rapid screening method for detecting aflatoxin in cottonseed products was investigated to determine if it was applicable to corn. Other aflatoxin-extracting solvents and protein-precipitating agents were tried with white and yellow corn. When acetone-water (85+15) and a saturated solution of ammonium sulfate were substituted for acetonitrile-water (80+20) and lead acetate in the cottonseed method, fewer interferences and more compact fluorescent zones were observed on the developed minicolumns. The modified method for corn was applicable to samples containing 10 ppb or more aflatoxin.
