Abstract
Aflatoxins (AF) are extremely toxic and carcinogenic compounds and are metabolites of mold fungi Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. Food and feed can be contaminated with these molds during harvest, storage, processing and marketing. In this study, aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in 50 red pepper samples sold in Kayseri was analyzed by EIA method. The presence of AFB1 was found in all of the samples. AFB1 values were determined in the range of 1.48-70.05 ppb. It was determined that three of the red pepper samples (6.0%) had AFB1 higher than the level allowed in spices (5 ppb) according to the Turkish Food Codex Regulation.
