Abstract

In Panama, few studies have been done on the presence of mycotoxins in human foods. To detect aflatoxins in popularly consumed products, samples of peanuts and corn were analyzed for popcorn purchased in local stores. Mycotoxin analysis was performed using the competitive ELISA method of r-biopharm® for the detection of aflatoxins. Subsequently, the corn samples for popcorn were heat treated to prepare popcorn and these were analyzed by aflatoxins. In peanuts, the average concentration varied between 16 and 54 ppm, and in popcorn corn, it presented ranges between 18 and 90 ppm. When comparing the data of three peanut brands in small packages it was determined that, they all had a similar concentration of aflatoxins. Similarity was also observed between the samples of three corn brands for popcorn. The statistical comparison between peanuts and corn for popcorn showed no differences between the products. It was determined that there was a significant aflatoxin decrease after the heat treatment, but its elimination was not total. These results demonstrate the risk of the presence of these toxins in this type of products in Panama.
