Abstract
The aflatoxin B1 and total aflatoxin distribution in Georgia Green peanuts has been measured. Sample distributions were measured in approximately 400 small samples each of jumbo, medium and small other kernels sublots, containing 20, 10, and 5 kernels, respectively. Results were converted to single kernel probability density distributions, p(c), using methods previously published. This constitutes the first direct small sample experimental establishment of p(c) in USA peanuts. All three sublots show evidence in the single kernel probability density of peaks at about concentrations of 105 and 5×103 ng/g, and a partial peak at a concentration <5×102 ng/g. The first and last of these are similar to peaks seen in tree nuts.
