Description

Moisture content and total aflatoxin content of the freshly harvested maize samples. 

Moisture content of the samples were determined on-site in triplicate using Superpoint handheld moisture analyzer (Supertech Agroline, Hestchaven 5, DK-5400 Bogense, Denmark; ±0.5% accuracy) following the manufacturer’s instructions.

Total AF in the samples were quantified by a single step lateral flow immunoassay utilizing the developed Reveal Q+ test strip for Aflatoxin (Neogen Item 8085) read on a calibrated AccuSan Gold reader (Neogen Corporation, 620 Lesher Place, Lansing, MI 48912 USA) (Neogen item 9595) at 18-22oC
