Abstract
The official method of analysis for the total aflatoxins was notified in august 16, 2011. It shows that the multifunctional column method is applicable to cereals, pulses, nuts and seeds, and the immunoaffinity column method is applicable to spices, processed foods, and the foods which cannot be applied to the multifunctional column method. However, our studies showed that some foods were not applicable to the immunoaffinity column method on the performance criteria for the method of analysis for total aflatoxins to be used by laboratory. In this paper, the applicability of the immunoaffinity column method and its revised method about various foods are mainly described.
