High-performance liquid chromatography of Aflatoins was carried out by using two kinds of column packings.
Silicagel (Iatrobeads 6RS-8010) yielded satisfactory separation of Aflatoxin B1, B2, G1, G2, by eluting with dichloromethane-chloroform-methanol (60:40:0.15) or chloroform-iso-octane-iso-propanol (75:25:0.5), whereas porous polymergel (Iatrobeads 6CP-2010) could be applied for the clear separation of B-group and G-group aflatoxins from patulin and penicillic acid.
The detection of aflatoxins was performed with UV-254nm or UV-360nm, while the latter is more recommendable to avoid the disturbance with coexisting materials.
