Abstract:
A new confirmatory test for aflatoxins B1 and B2 is described. The test involves treatment of aflatoxins with excess sodium borohydride for 10 min at room temperature, to yield a fluorescent trihydroxy derivative of each aflatoxin. The test is sensitive and simple and gives no side reactions. The test is also applicable to aflatoxins G1 and G2.
