Incidence of Patulin in Apple Juice Marketed in Turkey

摘要

The purpose of this study was to investigate the patulin contamination of apple juices consumed by the Turkish population. Patulin was detected using high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)with a UV detector at 280 nm, and the identi- Fication of patulin was further confirmed by thin-layer chromatography(TLC). Using HPLC, the recoveries were 79.9±6.7/100 And 83.7±4.6/100, and the coefficients of variation were 8.4 and 5.5/100 for apple juices spiked with the known amounts of Patulin(60 and 120 μg/liter, respectively).
