摘要
In the light of recent warnings regarding the possible presence of aflatoxin in gum arabic samples, the usefulness of a commercially available ELISA system for the detection of these compounds in food was studied as a screening technique for gum arabic. A series of gum arabic samples were assayed, as were the same samples deliberately spiked with aflatoxin. The results confirmed that the assay system was capable of determining aflatoxin in the concentration range 2.0-200.0 p.p.b. in the presence of gum arabic. None of the 16 untreated samples contained any detectable aflatoxin.
