Aflatoxin B1 contamination in sunflower oil collected from
A total of 744 samples of vegetable seeds and oil (soybean, sunflower, canola, olive, corn germ, and mustard) were collected for the presence of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and total aflatoxins (AFs).
In the present study, the aflatoxin B1 contamination at various stages of oil refining and in refined oil were carried out. This was subsequently compared with commercial vegetable oil samples. Among the 23 different sunflower oil samples were tested, 10 of them showed posi-tive results to AFB1 and the remaining 13 showed negative results to AFB1.

A total of 61 samples comprising sunflower seeds (40) and unrefined sunflower oils (21) samples collected randomly from Singida, Tanzania were analysed by Reverse Phase-high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). 15% (6/40) of the seed samples were contaminated with aflatoxin B 1 ranging from limit of detection (LOD) to 218 ng g-1 with three of them exceeding the European
Aflatoxin B1 levels in groundnut and sunflower oils
In this article, the level of contamination of aflatoxin B 1 (AFB 1) in groundnut and sunflower oils was determined.The 241 oil samples were collected from Khartoum, Gezira, Kordofan and Algadarif states of Sudan and assessed for AFB 1 using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). AFB 1 levels in groundnut oil samples ranged from 0.5 to 70 µg/kg and were 0.7 to 35 µg/kg in sunflower

In a survey of oil-type sunflower seeds, 89 samples were collected from 32 storage bins in 10 counties of North Dakota in 1979. None of these survey samples exceeded the 20 ppb Food and Drug Administration aflatoxin guideline. Four research samples, from 2 grossly spoiled storages, contained 100-1100 ppb aflatoxin B1.
AFLATOXINS IN SUNFLOWERS
1) for aflatoxin. The aflatoxin level (8 ppb B. 1) was below the FDA action level of 20 ppb aflatoxin. Within the scope of this survey, the low incidence of aflatoxin indicates that the possibility of aflatoxin contamination in the sunflower seed food chain is remote. This low in cidence of aflatoxin in sunflower seeds has been
Aflatoxin contamination in edible vegetable oils is a global concern due to the harmful effects of aflatoxins on human health. This study reports the status of aflatoxin contamination in seven edible vegetable oil types obtained from Sri Lankan market: coconut oil (n = 32), palm olein (n = 5), sunflower oil (n = 5), sesame oil (n = 5), olive oil (n = 5), soya bean oil (n = 4) and corn germ oil (n = 3).
