Metal Ions in Activated Carbon Improve the Detection Efficiency of Aflatoxin-Producing Fungi

Aflatoxins (AF), produced by several Aspergillus species, are visible under ultraviolet light if present in high amounts. AF detection can be improved by adding activated carbon, which enhances the observation efficiency of weakly AF-producing fungi. However, commercial activated carbon products dif...
