One hundred and eleven samples of processed fruit juices, including apple, grape, pineapple, papaya, guave, banana and mango, and 38 samples of sound fruits including apple, papaya, mango, pear and peach, produced and marketed in Brazil, were analysed for patulin by HPLC. Only one out of 30 samples of apple juice was found positive at 17 µg/L. Patulin was not detected in the other foodstuffs. However, patulin was found in 14 samples of spoiled fruit including apple (150-267 µg/kg), pear (134-245 µg/kg) and peach (92-174 µg/kg).
