Improvement of mobile phase in thin-layer chromatography for aflatoxins and analysis of the effect of dichlorvos in aflatoxigenic fungi

Abstract

  Thin-layer chromatography for aflatoxins using toluene as a constituent of a mobile phase worked well and was able to avoid the usage of chloroform. We analyzed the effect of dichlorvos in aflatoxigenic fungi using above mobile phase, and found the difference between two strains of Aspergillus flavus and a strain of A. parasiticus.
