Patulin in South African commercial apple products.

Locally produced commercial apple products purchased from retail outlets in South Africa were surveyed for the presence of patulin from 1996 to 1998. Twenty-three of the 31 fruit juice samples had no detectable patulin contamination. The eight contaminated juice samples had patulin concentrations in the range 5-45 mg/L. with a mean of 10 mg/L. Among whole fruit products, 2/6 were contaminated with patulin at 10 mg/kg. Among infant fruit juices, 6/10 samples had patulin concentrations in the range 5-20 mg/L. The infant fruit purees showed no detectable patulin contamination.
