Total aflatoxin (AFT) and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) contamination, pH and water activity, and mold and yeast counts in unpacked and packed ground red pepper (GRP) and pistachio nut have been studied from September 2008 to February 2009. 17.1% (14/82) and 23.1% (19/82) unpacked GRP were over AFT and AFB1 legal limits, respectively, while only one packed sample was over legal limit of AFB1 by 89.99 ppb. Both of AFT and AFB1 were detected in 50.5% (48/95) of unpacked pistachio nuts with the contamination levels ranging from 0.007 to 7.72 ppb. Mold and yeast counts in unpacked GRP and mold counts in unpacked pistachio nut were detected over legal limits with 5.9% (5/85) and 1.1% (1/95), respectively. These cases call attention to the importance of aflatoxin content in these foods and need strict prohibition in the use of batches containing aflatoxins.
本研究于 2008 年 9 月至 2009 年 2 月期间对散装和包装红辣椒粉（GRP）和开心果中总黄曲霉毒素（AFT）和黄曲霉毒素 B1（AFB1）污染、pH 值和水活度、霉菌和酵母菌计数进行了研究。分别有 17.1%（14/82）和 23.1%（19/82）的散装 GRP 超过了 AFT 和 AFB1 的法定限量，而只有一个包装样品的 AFB1 含量超过法定限量 89.99 ppb。在 50.5%（48/95）的散装开心果中检测到了 AFT 和 AFB1，污染水平在 0.007 至 7.72 ppb 之间。散装 GRP 的霉菌和酵母菌计数以及散装开心果的霉菌计数均超过了法定限量，分别为 5.9%（5/85）和 1.1%（1/95）。这些情况引起了对这些食品中黄曲霉毒素含量的重视，需要严格禁止使用含有黄曲霉毒素的批次。
