Comparative Study Regarding the Application of HPLC and ELISA Methods for Aflatoxins Detection in Peanuts
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aflatoxins are carcinogenic substances produced by fungi and due to the growth of fungi in a wide range of commodities including cereals, nuts, figs and spices, it is necessary to test such products for the presence of aflatoxins prior to their incorporation into other foodstuff or feeds. There is a need for a quick, simple test which can be used to check a diverse range of foodstuff. Two different detection methods of aflatoxins in peanuts were presented and compared (HPLC and ELISA). Both methods allow the determination of aflatoxin content with good recoveries for the levels of interest.

Development of an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay Method Specific for the Detection of G-Group Aflatoxins.
To detect and monitor G-group aflatoxins in agricultural products, we generated class-specific monoclonal antibodies that specifically recognized aflatoxins G₁ and G₂. Of the final three positive and stable hybridomas obtained, clone 2G6 produced a monoclonal antibody that had equal sensitivity to aflatoxins G₁ and G₂, and did not cross-react with aflatoxins B₁, B₂, or M₁. Its IC50 values for a...

Aflatoxins are a group of fungal toxic metabolites, which are contaminated certain food commodities. ELISA is one of the sensitive methods for detection of aflatoxins. Preparation and stabilizing of a proper conjugated tracer for detection of aflatoxins is probably the main step for designing an ELISA method. In current study, different stabilizers were applied to stabilize a newly prepared con...

PURPOSE Aflatoxins (AFs) are a group of mycotoxins and secondary metabolites of various species of Aspergillus. There are various forms of aflatoxins including B1, B2, G1, G2, M1 and M2 types. Aflatoxins cause important health problems and have high potential effect on liver cancer. Therefore, numerous investigations have been conducted during last three decades. The aim of this work is to dete...
