Aflatoxin analysis was performed by solvent extraction, immunoaffinity clean-up and determination using high performance liquid chromatography equipped with post-column photochemical reactor and fluorescence detector. Among 52 samples analyzed, 75 % showed levels of aflatoxin B (AFB ) contamination. However, there was no sample with AFB above maximum tolerated level (MTL) of 5 ng/g assigned by Institute of Standard and Industrial Research of Iran (ISIRI). AFB concentrations in the samples was ng/g. Out of 52 samples analyzed, about 76.97% were contaminated with total aflatoxin (AFT) with the mean of 0.67 ng/g which is lower than MTL of AFT in rice (30 ng/g) assigned by (ISIRI). AFT concentration ranged from ng/g. Contamination of aflatoxins in imported rice was dissimilar between different months. The highest levels of AFB and AFT were detected in rice samples imported in September, while the lowest levels were in rice imported during November. Key words: Aflatoxins Food Safety Rice Iran INTRODUCTION while A. parasiticus produces all four aflatoxins; aflatoxin B is the most toxic and best studied of the aflatoxins [8]. Rapid population growth in developing countries Afs are the most potent carcinogens in animal and leads to an ever increasing demand for food. In the human populations [8, 9-]. production of food crops losses occur during the growth The International Agency for Research on Cancer cycle in the field, harvest and storage where up to 5% has designated Afs as a human liver carcinogen [2]. of grain weight can reduce the agricultural output []. They also interfere with the function of the immune The risk of contamination by mycotoxins is an important system [3]. A wide variety of animals including fish, food safety concern for grains and other field crops [2-4]. rodents, waterfowl, poultry, swine and cattle can be The genus Aspergillus is distributed worldwide and affected by aflatoxins [4-6]. The knowledge that contains over 80 species. It is one of the most ubiquitous AFs effect on humans and animals has led many countries and abundant of all groups of fungi and one of the most to establish maximum tolerated level (MTL) on aflatoxins studied fungal groups [5-7]. A. flavus and A. parasiticus, levels allowed in food and feed in the last decades to the two Aspergillus species of most concern in safeguard the health of humans, as well as the economical agriculture, are predominant saprotrophs with limited interests of producers and traders. Currently, worldwide parasitic ability [8]. range of limits for AFB and total AF (AFT) are -20 and Toxins produced by some Aspergillus spp. are called 0-35 ng/g, respectively [2-7, 8-20]. aflatoxins. Aflatoxins were first discovered in Europe in Rice (Oryzae sativa L.) is the most important staple animal feed. AFs are found as contaminants in various food crop in Iran and is cultivated in different areas that agricultural commodities such as maize, rice, sorghum, have sultry and rainy climate. Since the amount of rice wheat, oats, spices (black pepper, ginger) and chilli and cultivation is not enough for domestic consumption, are considered to be of greater significance for human the country imports rice from other regions such as India, beings [0]. The four major AFs that occur in crops are Pakistan, Bangladesh and Thailand which are the largest B, B, G and G. A. flavus produces aflatoxins B and B, producers of rice in the World.

Then, 75 ml of the filtrate was passed Aspergillus and Penicillium, is a common and unresolved through the IAC at a flow rate of ml/min. The column problem [2, 22]. Thus, when the rice imported to Iran was washed with water and dried using vacuum. Finally, port, it is usually examined for aflatoxins contamination. AF was eluted with methanol using the following The Institute of Standards and Industrial Research of procedure. First, 0.5 ml methanol was applied on the Iran (ISIRI) has set minimum levels of 5 and 30 ng/g for column which passed through by gravity. After min, the aflatoxin B and the total aflatoxins, respectively [24]. second portion of 0.75 ml methanol was applied and Bushehr is the major port for importing rice (Oryza sativa) collected. The elute was diluted with water and analyzed in south west of Iran. Therefore, the aim of this using HPLC. investigation was to identify the levels of aflatoxin B and the total aflatoxins in imported rice to Bushehr port. AF Standards: After preparation of standard solutions of AFs, the concentration of each one was determined using MATERIALS AND METHODS UV spectrophotometer. These standards were used to prepare mixed working standards for HPLC analysis. Samples: One hundred and fifty two samples were collected randomly by inspectors of Food Control Offices Recovery and Limit of Detection (LOD): The in Bushehr port from May 2008 to February Samples effectiveness of the extraction procedure was confirmed were taken according to method of the Iranian National by sample fortification. The recovery of extraction method Standard of Sampling for aflatoxins analysis in agricultural was determined by fifty grams of milled rice fortified with products [23]. Then, all the samples were transferred to a solution of AF in methanol at 5 µg/ml(for B and G ) and Toxicology Labs in Food and Drug Control Laboratory. A µg/ml(for B 2 and G 2) h before extraction.

Sci., 4 (): 3-35, 202 Fig. : Maximum levels (ng/g) of aflatoxin B (AFB ) and total aflatoxins AFT detected in the examined rice samples in different months Table : Mean and standard deviation of aflatoxin B (AFB) and total aflatoxins (AFT) (ng/g) in the examined rice samples Month N ND AFBI (ng/g) AFT(ng/g) May ± ±.27 Jun ± ±0.03 Jul ± ±.087 Aug ± ±0.509 Sep ± ±.294 Oct ± ±0.33 Nov ± ±0.37 Dec Jan ± ±0.202 Feb ± ±0.58 (Table). Mean of AFB in the samples was 0.46 ng/g. However, there was no sample with AFB above MTL of 5 ng/g assigned by Institute of Standard and Industrial Research of Iran (ISIRI) [26] (Figure ). Maximum level of AFB in rice samples was 3.3 ng/g. Among 52 samples analyzed, 35 samples (23.03 %) did not show any AFT contamination. However, 76.97% of samples were contaminated with AFT with the mean of 0.67 ng/g which were lower than MTL of AFT in rice in Iran (30 ng/g) [26] (Table). Maximum level of AFT in rice samples was 4.27ng/g (Figure ). Levels of aflatoxins in rice samples were different between different months. The highest levels of AFB and AFT detected were in rice samples imported in September The lowest levels were detected in rice imported during November 2009 (Figure ). In a similar study from Iran by Mazaheri [28] among 7 rice samples analyzed, AFB was detected in 59 samples (83% of the total). The mean of AFB was.89 ng/g for all samples. Total AF was detected in 83% of samples. Mean of AFT was 2.09 ng/g. AFB levels in two samples (2.8%) were above the maximum tolerable level (MTL) of AFB in Iran (5ng/g). Another survey conducted by Food Standards Agency, UK in 2002 [29] to determine the levels of mycotoxins in rice showed that their levels ranged from 0.2 to.8 mg/kg. All levels found were below the EC ( European Commission) legislative limits of 2 mg/kg aflatoxin B and 4 mg/kg total aflatoxin in cereal products for direct human consumption [30, 3]. Sales and Yoshizawa [32] reported that the incidence of AFB in rice from the Philippines ranged from to.0 mg/kg. In another study the AFB contamination was detected in 37 samples of rice grains from China. They found that 92% of the samples were positive to AFB [33]. Toteja et al. [34] reported the presence of AFB in parboiled rice collected from states in India; 38.5% of the samples were positive to AFB. It has been reported that from 200 samples from India, 67.8% were positive to AFB. The highest level of AFB found in the samples was 38.5 mg/kg [35, 36]. Prasad et al. [37] tested 56 samples of stored rice and found that 2 were positive for aflatoxin. Levels of aflatoxins ranged from 84 to 2830 mg/kg. Jayaraman and Kalyansundaram [38] reported that 35% of the samples of raw rice bran and parboiled rice bran showed the presence of aflatoxin B. It was shown that bran of parboiled rice supports higher aflatoxin production than bran of raw rice. In a study carried by Bandara et al. [39] who reported that in almost all the samples of parboiled rice, AFB and AFG contents were significantly higher than the raw milled rice. Cultivar differences in the amount of 33
