THE ANH, Nguyen et al. Assessment of aflatoxin B1 contamination in rice and maize. Rev. cuban. med. mil. [online]. 2023, vol.52, n.3  Epub 01-Set-2023. ISSN 1561-3046.

Introduction:

Aflatoxins B1 are among the most common poisonous mycotoxins produced by certain fungi that harm animals and crops. Mycotoxins can cause a variety of adverse health effects and pose a serious health threat to humans. The Maximum Residue Limits of aflatoxin B1 in processed cereals and ingredients are 2 parts per billion (ppb) and 5 ppb, respectively.

Objectives:

To evaluate the status of aflatoxin B1 contamination in rice, corn and staple food produced in Ha Giang province compared with the maximum permitted levels.

Methods:

A total of 210 rice and maize samples were analyzed to quantify the level of aflatoxin B1. Analysis of mycotoxins was conducted by High Performance Liquid Chromatography using a fluorescence detector.

Results:

It was found that rice, rice products, maize, and maize products had a mean aflatoxin B1 content of 1.79 ppb, 2.55 ppb, 2.19 ppb, and 6.35 ppb, respectively. The results also showed that 71.9% of samples were contaminated with mycotoxins, and 14.28% of samples exceeded the maximum allowable limit.

Conclusion:

The concentration of aflatoxin B1 in 14.28% of the samples are over permissible limits by nationwide regulations.
