Mycotoxicity Studies Of Peanut (Arachis Hypogaea) Butters From Markets In Umuahia
ABSTRACT
This study assessed the
mycological and aflatoxin contamination of peanuts collected from major markets
in Umuahia Twelve (12) peanut butter samples were collected randomly three (3)
samples collected each from four (4) markets in Umuahia and analyzed for
Aflatoxin using thin layer chromatography method (TLC). The results indicated
that peanut butter samples collected from Ahia-eke Market, Ubani market, Ndioro
market and Orie-ugba market respectively were contaminated with aflatoxigenic
fungi. The study reveals that high level of contamination in the samples could
be due to poor storage conditions.
