Rapid screening tests for detection of aflatoxin were made on truckloads of white corn (1971 crop) under Commodity Credit Corp. as they arrived at an elevator in Missouri. Samples to be tested for presence or absence of aflatoxin were selected on the basis of an inspection with UV light (365 nm) for bright greenish-yellow fluorescence associated with the presence of toxin. Results of the rapid field method were compared with those from quantitative determination and found to be effective, for the most part, in identifying aflatoxin-containing corn.
