Comparison of liquid chromatography and high performance thin layer chromatography for determination of aflatoxin in
Abstract:
Recent research studies concerning aflatoxin in peanut products have involved the use of new instrumental methods for greater detection sensitivity. A comparison of 2 such techniques, liquid chromatography (LC) and high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC), is reported here. With respect to precision, accuracy, sensitivity, recovery, and linearity of response, HPTLC appears to be equivalent to LC. These points illustrate the viability of HPTLC as an alternative technique in the determination of aflatoxin.
