ABSTRACT:
Aflatoxin contamination in almonds is detected by exposing almond kernels to long wave ultraviolet light and detecting the presence of aflatoxin as determined by violet-purple fluorescence. The method is particularly adaptable to automation to detect and sort out aflatoxin contaminated almonds.
