Investigation of aflatoxin contamination in commercial Spanish peanuts.
In the present study aflatoxin contamination was investigated with 102 peanut samples. Only 11 samples showed contamination by that mycotoxin. Concentration was less than 15-20 micrograms/kg in all the contaminated samples. Aflatoxin B1, B2, G1, and G2 were detected in the above-mentioned samples. No significant difference was found between shell and shelled peanuts owing to aflatoxin contamination.
