Hygienic Studies on the Agricultural Products in Youngnam Districts (Part II) Determination of Aflatoxin B1 by ELISA Method

영남지방 농상물에 대한 위생학적 연구(제2보) ELISA 법에 의한 Aflatoxin B1 검색

A rapid, simple method of ELISA was applied for the determination of aflatoxin BI in cereals from Y oungnam districts. Antibodies obtained cross reacted with aflatoxin B2 and to a less extent with other aflatoxin BI analogs. Response range for a typical standard curve was between I and 100 ppb. Fewer interference by spiked methanol-PBSdimethylformamide extracts ofrice was evidenced. Contents of aflatoxin BI from rice (65) and barley (116) were determined by competitive direct enzyme- linked immunosorbent assay as follows. Three out of 65 rices samples were positive. Rice samples of R-IS, R-30, and R-59 represent the aflatoxin B1 levels of $7.5\;\mu\textrm{g}.kg,\;6.0\;\mu\textrm{g}/kg,\;3.5\;\mu\textrm{g}/kg,\;3.3\;\mu\textrm{g}/kg$, respectively, and showed 4.6% aflatoxin BI contamination in rice samples. Meanwhile, four out of 116 barley samples were positive. VB-37 showed the highest aflatoxin Bllevels of $9.6\;\mu\textrm{g}/kg$ and VB-35, VB-15 and VB-54 represent $7.5\;\mu\textrm{g}.kg,\;6.0\;\mu\textrm{g}/kg\;and\;3.6\;\mu\textrm{g}/kg$, respectively, and showed 3.4% aflatoxin B1 contamination in barley samples.

영남지방 곡류에 오염되어 있는 Aflatoxin B1을 측정하기 위해 식속하고 정확한 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay(ELISA) 법을 응용하였다. 생산된 Antibody 는 aflatoxin B2와 강한 corss reaction을 보였고, 정량적으로 표준곡선을 보인 aflatoxin B1 범위는 1-100ppb이었으며, methanol-PBS-dimethylformamide로 spike시킨 쌀 추출물이 ELISA 반응에 약간의 간섭반응을 보였다. ELISA법에 의한 쌀 65종, 보리 116종의 aflatoxin 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 즉, 쌀시료 65개 중 3개의 시료가 positive 반응을 보였으며, 그중 R-18이 $7.5\;\mu\textrm{g}/kg$, R-30이 $3.6\;\mu\textrm{g}/kg$, R-59가 $3.3\;\mu\textrm{g}/kg$ 순으로 aflatoxin B1 함량을 나타내었고 시료의 4.6%가 aflatoxin B1에 오염되었음을 보였다. 보리 116종 중 겉보리에서 4개의 시료가 positive 반응을 나타내었으며, 그 중 겉보리 UB-37이 $9.6\;\mu\textrm{g}/kg$의 함량으로 가장 높은 함량을 나타내었고, 그의 UB-35, UB-54순이었으며 전체 시료의 3.4%가 aflatoxin B1에 오염되었음을 보였다.
