A rapid, quantitative, inexpensive and efficient method was developed to determine aflatoxins in corn, corn meal, popcorn, rice, wheat, cottonseed and peanuts. Samples are ground and extracted with methanol-water (80+20). The extract is cleaned up by passage through a solid-hpase separatory column, derivatised with a bromine reagent, and fluorescence is immediately quantified with a fluorometer containing a broad wavelength pulsed xenon light source. The method can quantify aflatoxin from 5-5000 ug/kg without dilution. Correlation coefficients with LC for multiple analyses for corn, cottonseed and peanuts were 0.999,0.995 and 0.980, respectively.
