Abstract

A survey for aflatoxin B₁ (AFB₁) was conducted on 88 food-grade rice samples randomly collected during July and August 2002 in Seoul, Korea. The presence of AFB₁ was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the positive samples from enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were confirmed using high-performance liquid chromatography. Besides this, from the surveying data from the literature published since 1997, the intake of AFB₁ from food in Korea was calculated and compared with the provisional maximum tolerable daily intakes. Naturally occurring AFB₁ was found in 5/88 (6%) samples of rice with an average of 4.8 ng g^-1. A calculated probable daily intake of AFB₁ for Koreans fell into the range 1.19-5.79 ng kg^-1 bw day^-1, hence exceeding the estimated provisional maximum tolerable daily intakes. In conclusion, the exposure of Koreans to AFB₁ could bring about health concerns. This is the first report discovering that rice is the mqjor contributor to the dietary intake of AFB₁ in Korea.
