Abstract

Cyclodextrins have been used as fluorescence enhancers in HPLC to improve thedetection limits of aflatoxins, cancerogens which can be found in severalfoodstuffs. In this work, a screening of several cyclodextrins has been performedin order to find the factors affecting the fluorescence enhancement. Evidence for formationof a 1 : 1 AF-CD inclusion complex has been achieved by titration and competitiveexperiments with adamantanecarboxylic acid and by fluorescence quenching by KI.Stability constants of the AF-CD complexes were evaluated.
