Abstract
Six samples each of wheat, corn, lentils, beans, fenugreek, peanuts, and cottonseed cake from various areas of Egypt were analyzed for aflatoxins both at the time of collection and after 12 months’ storage. Aflatoxin was found at low levels (3 to 12 ppb total aflatoxins in 14 of 42 samples, as follows: 1 sample each of corn, lentils, and beans; 2 peanut samples; 3 fenugreek samples ; and 6 cottonseed cake samples. None of the samples contained aflatoxins above 11.7 ppb.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
