Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of analytical chemistry and chemiluminescence, and in particular relates to a method for determining aflatoxin. Background technique
[0002] Aflatoxins (AFT) are a class of compounds with similar chemical structures, all of which are derivatives of dihydrofuranocoumarins. Aflatoxins are secondary metabolites mainly produced by the fungus Aspergillus parasiticus, and the probability of aflatoxins appearing in food and feed in hot and humid areas is the highest.
[0003] The sudden deaths of 100,000 turkeys in the UK in the 1960s were identified as being linked to peanut meal imported from Brazil. Further investigation proved that the meal was contaminated with a poisonous substance from a fungus. These research work eventually It made people discover the toxic metabolites produced by Aspergillus flavus. Aflatoxins are metabolites of Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. Aspergillus can also produce af...
