Patulin is one of the important mycotoxins, produced by a wide range of molds, including , and Patulin is mainly found in the rotten parts of fruits and vegetables, such as apples, pears, peach, apricots, and grapes. Currently, the Codex Alimentarius and Food and Drug Administration have recommended a maximum level of 50 µg/L patulin for apple products. The purpose of this study was to investigate patulin contamination of apple juice and cans in 75 samples collected from 15 manufacturers in Shiraz, southern Iran.
The detection of patulin was accomplished using a high-performance liquid chromatography with an ultraviolet detector.
A total of 38 apple juice samples (53%) and 17 apple cans (45%) were contaminated with patulin. Overall 50% and 3% of the apple juice and apple cans samples had a patulin level of > 3 µg/L.
Although the maximum level of patulin in our samples was considerably lower than the permitted level established by the European Union (i.e., 50 µg/L), the high incidence of this mycotoxin in our samples should be lessen by improving their good manufacturing practice.
展青霉素是一种重要的霉菌毒素,由多种霉菌产生,包括[此处原文缺失霉菌名称]。展青霉素主要存在于水果和蔬菜的腐烂部分,如苹果、梨、桃、杏和葡萄中。目前,食品法典委员会和食品药品管理局建议苹果产品中展青霉素的最大限量为50微克/升。本研究的目的是调查从伊朗南部设拉子的15家制造商收集的75个样品中苹果汁和苹果罐头的展青霉素污染情况。
采用带紫外检测器的高效液相色谱法检测展青霉素。
共有38个苹果汁样品(53%)和17个苹果罐头(45%)被展青霉素污染。总体而言,50%的苹果汁样品和3%的苹果罐头样品展青霉素含量>3微克/升。
尽管我们样品中展青霉素的最大含量远低于欧盟规定的允许水平(即50微克/升),但应通过改进良好生产规范来降低我们样品中这种霉菌毒素的高发生率。
