Abstract: | Aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, and G2 have been separated on a series of chromatographic columns. Chromatography of crude products isolated from molded wheat and
rice on silicic acid with washed chloroform:ethanol (99:1) gave relatively pure B1. The rest of the column fractions containing predominantly G1, along with B1, B2, and G2, were pooled and fractionated on a Silica Gel G column. The mobile phase was washed chloroform:acetone:ethanol (97.3:2.0:0.75).
Thin-layer chromatography was used to follow column development. Each of the aflatoxins was treated with either decolorizing
carbon or copper carbonate to remove colored pigments, and rechromatographed on Silica Gel G. Crystalline aflatoxins were
prepared from chloroform solutions by addition ofn-hexane, methanol, or ethanol.
