Abstract
Three hundred twenty-eight (328) apple, pear, and mixed fruit products including juices, sauces, purees, jellies, diced apples, and apple pulps from 38 Australian producers were analyzed for patulin using the technique of high pressure liquid chromatography analysis. Patulin was detected in 75 of 258 juice and juice concentrate samples ranging from 5 to 50 μg/L and in 73 samples ranging from 51 to 1130 μg/L. Of 70 samples other than juices, patulin was detected in 18 samples at levels below 50 μg/kg of patulin. The detection limits for patulin in juice and other products were 5 μg/L and 5 μg/kg, respectively.
