[Thin layer chromatographic detection of aflatoxins on ready-made silica gel plates]. 1977

V Thurm

Silica gel instant plates with an aluminium reflection foil as the carrier material (Silufol) were tested for their suitability for the thin-layer chromatographic separation of aflatoxins in comparison with conventiol silica gel G coated glass plates. Besides the well-knwon merits of instant plates, the Silufol plates offer remarkable analytical advantages; increased sensibility and shorter time of development. For this reason, the Silufol plates may be recommended for routine examinations of foods for aflatoxins.

D000348	Aflatoxins	Furano-furano-benzopyrans that are produced by ASPERGILLUS from STERIGMATOCYSTIN. They are structurally related to COUMARINS and easily oxidized to an epoxide form to become ALKYLATING AGENTS. Members of the group include AFLATOXIN B1; aflatoxin B2, aflatoxin G1, aflatoxin G2; AFLATOXIN M1; and aflatoxin M2.	Aflatoxin
