Analyses of aflatoxins in red peppers are measured semi-quantitative by Thin Layer Chromatography TLC method. According to these in 12 of the analyzed samples, aflatoxin B1 residues at the level of (24.5 %) 3,5 – 80 ppb, in 11 samples, aflatoxin B2 residues at the level of (22 %) 3 – 60 ppb, in 5 samples aflatoxin G1 residues at the level of (10 %) 8 – 40 ppb and in one sample aflatoxin G2 residues at the level of (2 %) 20 ppb is observed. Among the number of 49 red pepper only in one sample aflatoxin B1, B2, G1 and G2 ; in 4 samples aflatoxin B1, B2, G1 and in 6 samples aflatoxin B1 and B2 residues are observed together, only in one sample aflatoxin B1 is observed. So the meeting frequency of aflatoxins’ in red peppers is detected 24,5 %. Although 38 (78%) were below the limit, the remaining 11 (22%) were well above the limit permitted by Turkish Food Codex UR - https://dergipark.org.tr/en/pub/vetheder/issue//379412 L1 - https://dergipark.org.tr/en/download/article-file/405209 ER -
