Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important cereal grains grown worldwide in a wider range of environments. It is used in various food products such as bread, muffins, doughnuts, pancake mixes, infant foods etc. The objective of this study was to determine the concentrations of Aflatoxin B1 in Maize Flour collected from various parts of India and also to assess whether the Maize Flour were safe for human consumption.
Out of 31 samples of Maize Flour analysed for Aflatoxin, all samples were found to be free from Aflatoxin i.e aflatoxin content was Below detection limit. As per FSSAI, the maximum permissible limit for Aflatoxin is 30 ppb. The study showed that the Maize Flour samples collected from various regions of India were found to contain aflatoxin within the permissible limit and are safe for human consumption.
