Comparison of rapid high pressure liquid chromatographic and CB methods for determination of aflatoxins in corn and peanuts.

A method is described for the rapid determination of aflatoxins in corn and peanut samples by high pressure liquid chromatography. The method was compared with the current CB method (AOAC 26.026). For 7 samples of corn and 14 samples of peanut meal and peanut butter, the correlation between methods is 0.991, and no significant difference exist between methods, using the Student's t-test at 15.7% alpha-risk.
