Comparative Study on the HPLC Determination of Aflatoxins Coupled with Extraction and Clean-up Methods

Aflatoxin 분석법에 관한연구;추출 및 정제방법의 비교

Extraction and Clean-up procedures coupled with quantitation by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) was evaluated for the detection of 4 aflatoxins, B1, B2, G1 and G2, in peanut butter. The Sep-pak clean-up method showed poorer separation and repeatability than did the modified DeVries' and an immunoaffinity column clean-up methods. No significant difference of detected aflatoxins between the affinity column clean-up and modified DeVries' method. The coefficients of variation for the 4 aflatoxins were ranging from 6.3∼32.3 by the modified DeVries' method and 5.3∼9.8 by the affinity column clean-up.
