Description Efficacy of different methods for extraction, purification and analysis of aflatoxin B1 in chilli powder with different levels of aflatoxin B1 before and after equilibration of the added toxin were investigated. Samples were extracted using either acetone or chloroform solutions. Purification was achieved by lead acetate precipitation or column chromatography and samples were analysed using HPLC and TLC. Standard concn. of aflatoxin used were 10, 20, 30, 50, 70 and 100 mug/kg. When samples were extracted before equilibration, recoveries ranged from 65 to 108%, irrespective of the method used. Aflatoxin recoveries were low (0-10%) if the contamination level was
