摘要
This study was carried out to detect the presence of aflatoxin B-1 (AFB(1)) in 40 samples of Tarom rice from Iran. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was applied to analyze AFB(1) in the samples. All the analyses were conducted twice. Aflatoxin B-1 was found in all rice samples, the concentration of AFB(1) ranged from 0.29 to 2.92 mu g/kg. The AFB(1) concentration mean in the rice samples produced in 2013 was higher (P < 0.05) than the findings in rice in 2012.. However, 25 of the 40 samples exceeded the maximum prescribed limit, i.e. 2 mu g/kg of European Union Regulations and also none of the samples reached the maximum prescribed limit 5 mu g/kg of the Institute of Standards and Industrial Research of Iran (ISIRI) for aflatoxin B-1. Although, rice is ranked the second among cereal staples consumed food in Iran and many countries, it can make a serious health problem for people even for a small amount of aflatoxin.
