Abstract
Measurement of the solid state fluorescence of aflatoxins on silica gel-coated TLC plates on a densitometer equipped for fluorescence measurements showed a linear relationship between peak areas and concentration over a range of at least 2 to 105×10−4 μg of aflatoxins per spot. Response of individual aflatoxins was in order of B2>G2>B1>G1. Aflatoxins can be measured with a precision of ±2–4%.
