Abstract

---

TLC technique and plug method were used for the detection of aflatoxin in almond seed. Of the 25 seed samples examined, 5 were found to be contaminated with aflatoxin B1 (5.8-140 ug/kg) which included 2 samples that showed the presence of B2 (7.0-140 u/kg) also. Out of 29 isolates of A.flavus tested, 9 showed the presence of aflatoxin B1 with 1:2 ratio of toxigenic and non-toxigenic strains.
