| Abstract: | The purpose of this study was to investigate the ochratoxin A content in blood plasma. The analysis of ochratoxin A were performed by immunoaffinity column clean-up and HPLC with fluorescence detection. The detection limit was 0.05 microg/l. Ochratoxin A was detected in all of 50 plasma samples up to 7.44 microg/l. Mean level was 1.54 microg/l. Ochratoxin A level was higher in men than in women and in August than in December. Calculations made on the basis of the obtained mean showed that the daily ochratoxin A dietary intake awere 3.03 ng/kg b.w. |
