Selection of a suitable method for analysis of aflatoxins in date fruits.

The AOAC Methods (with slight modification) for the recovery of aflatoxins were applied to dates (Phoenix dactylifera).  The Romer minicolumn method failed to detect any aflatoxin in contaminated date fruits.  Using the HPLC and postcolumn derivatization procedure, the contaminants branch (CB) method was found to give average recoveries of 76 and 84% for date varieties Lulu and Naghal, respectively.  The recovery of total aflatoxins by the Best Food (BF) extraction and purification method was about 35% less than with the CB method.
