Abstract
The chemical method for confirmation of the identity of aflatoxin by derivative formation directly on the TLC plate was studied collaboratively by 8 participants. The results show that aflatoxin B1 was confirmed in 17 of 17 sample extracts representing 15 μg aflatoxin B1/kg peanut butter, in 13 of 16 extracts representing 5 μg/kg, and in none of the 7 aflatoxin-free extracts. Collaborators commented that the method was easily performed and gave good results. The method has been adopted as official first action.Keywords
