Distribution of aflatoxin in pistachios. 4. Distribution in small pistachios.

The aflatoxin concentration of small, unsorted pistachio "scalpers" has been measured as a function of nut weight (0.4 - 0.7 g/nut) for nuts from the 1992-1994 crops for one particular processor. No clear size dependence was noted, but these scalpers were found to have a weight average aflatoxin level around 8 ng/g, 5-7 times that of unsorted, unsized nuts. Results suggest a distinct difference in sorting for such scalpers between processors, the first time such difference has been verified.
