چکیده

dried figs collected from various exporting companies (2,461 samples) and local stores (219 samples) were analyzed using reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (rp-hplc) to determine and compare the incidence of aflatoxins, the effectiveness of the regulation limits and monitoring system to select non-compliant samples and the mean daily aflatoxin exposures. the incidence rates of aflatoxin contamination were higher in the domestic samples (47.5%) than in the samples intended for export (23.6%). according to the european regulation limits (2 ng g-1 for aflatoxin b1 and 4 ng g-1 for total aflatoxin; sum of b1+b2+g1+g2), non-compliant samples were 6 and 24.2% of the dried figs for export and domestic market, respectively. the respective rates of 2.2 and 16.4% were obtained with the national limit. the dietary intakes of aflatoxins through the consumption of dried figs were calculated as 1.27 and 0.2 ng kg-1 body weight×day for domestic market and export, respectively. dried figs contaminated with high levels of aflatoxins can lead to acute and chronic human toxicities. reducing contamination and exposure to an acceptable level by the implementation of strict periodic monitoring and application of effective new prevention measures might also help to decrease the significant health and economic risks in exported and domestic commodities.

Yeasts associated with dried-fruit beetles in figs.

A species of the bacterial genus Flavobacterium is capable of synthesizing a polysaccharide or mixture of polysaccharides when grown in a medium of a-conidendrin or vanillic acid as a sole carbon source. The polysaccharide hydrolysate consists of D-galactose, D-glucose, D-mannose, D-ribose and L-rhamnose as determined by paper chromatography. This organism has the unique characteristic of growi...

modeling rehydration behavior of dried figs

in this research, rehydration behavior of dried figs was studied at different temperatures (25, 60, 70, 80, and 90°c). the rehydration kinetic was examined using the four most frequently used empirical models, namely, weibull, peleg, first-order, and exponential association models. the weibull model gave the highest coefficient of determination (r2) and the lowest values of root mean square err...

Ochratoxin A in dried figs, raisings, apricots, dates on Iranian retail market

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is among the most important mycotoxins, and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies it as possibly carcinogenic to humans (group 2B). A total of 121 samples of dried fruits from the central zone of Iran were analyzed for OTA by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique. The recovery percentages of OTA in spiked dried fruit samples at concen...
