Abstract
A rapid, highly sensitive and specific method for the determination of ergosterol in food grains contaminated with fungi is described. The method involves simple iodination of ergosterol resulting in the formation of a highly fluorescent product which is determined fluorodensitometrically. The method may find wide application for the screening of food grains contaminated with fungi.Keywords
