dc.description.abstractDuring the years 2011–2012, a total of 182 chilli samples were collected from two provinces of Turkey and checked for aflatoxins (AFs). The samples were analysed using immunoaffinity column (IAC) clean-up and high performance liquid chromatography coupled to a fluorescence detector (HPLC-FLD) after post-column derivatisation. Quantification limits were 0.111, 0.110, 0.115 and 0.140 ?g kg?1 for aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), aflatoxin B2 (AFB2), aflatoxin G1 (AFG1) and aflatoxin G2 (AFG2), respectively. Aflatoxins were found in 150 out of 182 analysed samples: one hundred and fifty samples with AFB1, eighty-four samples with AFB2 and thirty-two samples with AFG1. No AFG2 were detected in chilli samples above the quantification limit of 0.14 ?g kg?1. The ranges for positive samples were 0.24–165 ?g AFB1 kg?1, 0.15–11.3 ?g AFB2 kg?1 and 0.15–3.88 ?g AFG1 kg?1. Fifty and thirty-five samples of chilli exceeded the legal limits of 5 and 10 ?g kg?1 established by European Commission for AFB1 and total AFs (the sum of AFB1, AFB2, AFG1 and AFG2), respectively.
