Patulin in apple-based foods: Occurrence and safety evaluation.

Patulin levels in samples of apples and apple derivatives were determined by HPLC. In apple juices and in homogenised baby foods, the mycotoxin concentration was always below the established limits of 50 mg/kg, while in some samples of juice with pulp the mycotoxin content exceeded the safe limits. In rotten apples, not only was the amount of patulin extraordinarily high in the rotten area, but the mycotoxin had also spread to the part unaffected by mould. The data presented indicate that the intake of patulin with apple derivatives is usually blow the tolerable level of 0.4 mg/kg body weight per day, however. The quality of fruits used in the production of apple derivatives should be strictly controlled in order not to exceed the safe limits.
