Aflatoxis are toxins produced by the fungus, mostly Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus, which are commoly found as contaminant in agicultural raw materials;for example,peanuts and corns that are the main components in animal feeds. This study animed to determine the contamination level of aflatoxins in corns. Twenty samples were collected form Bankok,Phetchaburi,Samutprakarn and Prachuap Khiri-Khan Province. Each sample was randomly selected in duplicate and was used for aflatoxins analysis using ScreenEZ Aflatoxin ELISA Test Kit. The results showed that 18 sample have no aflatoxis contamination according to this examination. However, one sample Phetchaburi was found to contaminate at 790.49 114.73 ppb. and one sample form Bankok was found to comtaminate with aflatoxin at 163.67 ppb form the first sampling but not the second attempt.Thus,in conclusion,18 corn samples(90%)passed the standard criteria of Thai Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperative Regulation (100 ppb) and passed the standard criteria of USFDA (200 ppb) while 2 samples (10%) were over the standard criteria.
