An extensive investigation of the outbreak was performed. Aflatoxin levels in foods were measured and showed high levels of aflatoxin B1 and B2. For example, maize grains from the two homes where severe and fatal illness had occurred contained 12 mg/kg and 3.2 mg/kg of aflatoxin Bl, while maize from unaffected homes had a maximum of 0.5 mg/kg aflatoxin Bl. Liver samples were obtained from two patients at necropsy and these indicated...

The use of starch for the preparation of glucose syrups has led to a commercial success in the industrial production of this material [132], However, starch is chemically converted to dextrin or dextrose syrups. Crystalline dextrose (glucose) is the major product of the starch conversion industry from com, milo-maize, grain sorghum, and other vegetable starches with acid under pressure and at high temperature [133], Starch hydrolysis is an equilibrium reaction and depending upon the... 

Only Letham and Miller [68 a, 69] appear to have used TLC so far. They compared the zeatin obtained from immature fruit of Zea mays with the maize factor , isolated likewise from maize grains. The preparations, characterised through their kinetin activity, are evidently identical. They accordingly show the same Rf-values in TLC on alumina G with butanone, saturated with water (hRf 58) with ethyl acetate saturated with water IciRf 14) and with chloroform-95% ethanol (10 4- 90, hRf 86, 90 + 10, hRf 61). The compound is 6-(4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-trans-2-Giiy ) aminopurine.

The different cereal crops are easily recognised by their grains or flowering heads. Wheat, rye and maize grains consist of the seed enclosed in a fruit coat (the pericarp) and are referred to as naked caiyopses (kernels). In barley and oats, the kernels are enclosed in husks formed by the fusing of the glumes (palea and lemma) and are referred to as covered caiyopses (Fig. 13.2). Note, naked oat and barley varieties are being developed.
