The occurrence of ochratoxin A (OTA) in dried grapes was surveyed in this study. Sixty-six samples of dried grapes (40 currants, 16 sultanas and 10 raisins) were collected from dried grapes factories in Hamadan province, Iran, from October 2012 to March 2013. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to determine OTA in these samples. OTA was detected in 23 (57.5%) currants, 10 (62.5%) sultanas and 6 (60%) raisins samples. Levels in five samples exceeded the Institute of Standards and Industrial Research of Iran (ISIRI) maximum level of 5 µg/kg. However, OTA content in none of the samples exceeded the maximum limit prescribed in the European Union (EU) regulations, which is 10 µg/kg. The obtained data contribute to information on OTA levels in Iranian dried grapes.
本研究调查了葡萄干中赭曲霉毒素A(OTA)的存在情况。2012年10月至2013年3月期间,从伊朗哈马丹省的葡萄干工厂收集了66份葡萄干样品(40份黑加仑、16份无核小葡萄干和10份葡萄干)。采用高效液相色谱法(HPLC)测定这些样品中的OTA。在23份(57.5%)黑加仑、10份(62.5%)无核小葡萄干和6份(60%)葡萄干样品中检测到了OTA。5份样品中的含量超过了伊朗标准与工业研究机构(ISIRI)规定的5 μg/kg的最高限量。然而,所有样品中的OTA含量均未超过欧盟法规规定的10 μg/kg的最大限量。所获数据有助于了解伊朗葡萄干中OTA的含量情况。
