The occurrence of fumonisin in dried figs was investigated by Enzyme Linked Immunoassay (ELISA) and High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Total fumonisins (FB1, FB2, FB3) in dried figs were determined using ELISA, whereas only fumonisin B1 (FB1) was determined by HPLC. In the period 2003-2004, one hundred and fifty five dried fig samples were taken during their drying in 7 different districts in the Aegean Region. Among a total of 115 samples, the incidence of total fumonisin in the dried figs was 82% within the range of 0.16 - 108.34 mg/g when determined by ELISA. In comparison, FB1 was detected in 86 samples (74.8%) within the range between 0.046 and 3.649 mg/g by HPLC. Correlation between ELISA and HPLC methods was observed for all samples. However, no correlation between methods was recorded for the samples with less than 1 mg/g Fumonisin B1 level (obtained by HPLC). Although there was a correlation between methods for all the samples, fumonisin levels obtained by ELISA were much higher than those obtained by HPLC. False positive results were obtained by ELISA in 11 out of 115 dried fig samples. The results indicated that ELISA can be used as a screening method for determining the occurence of fumonisin in dried figs.

Fumonisin B2

The purpose of this study was to measure the potential levels of fumonisin B1 (FB1) and fumonisin B2 (FB2) contamination in several herbal teas and medicinal plants that are consumed regularly in Turkey. FB1 and FB2 were detected using high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection after derivatization with o-phthaldialdehyde. A total of 115 commercially available herbal tea and medicinal plant samples were analyzed. The recoveries in black tea were 86.9 ± 8.42% for FB1 and 102 ± 6.80% for FB2 spiked with 1 μg/g of each analyte. Similarly, the mean recovery results in lime (linden) for FB1 and FB2 were 85.2 ± 9.76% and 78.6 ± 5.67%, respectively. The minimum detectable amounts for the o-phthaldialdehyde derivatives of FB1 and FB2 were 0.025 μg/g (1 ng injected) and 0.125 μg/g (5 ng), respectively. FB1 was detected in two samples (0.160 and 1.487 μg/g), and FB2 was detected in none of the samples.

The purpose of this study was to investigate fumonisin B1 (FB1)- and B2 (FB2)-contaminated corn and corn-based products consumed especially by the Turkish population. FB1 and FB2 were detected using high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. The total number of commercially available corn and corn-based product samples analyzed in this research was 82. The recoveries were found to be 94.4 ± 4.62% and 86.5 ± 4.86% for cornmeal spiked with known amounts of FB1 and FB2 (1 ppm), respectively. The minimum detectable amount for the o-phthaldialdehyde derivatives of FB1 and FB2 were 1 ng and 5 ng, respectively. Detected levels of FB1 were between 0.25 ppm and 2.66 ppm in 25.6% of the samples, and detected level of FB2 in a single cornmeal sample was 0.55 ppm.
