Abstract:

To explore the distribution of patulin in rotten apples, Fuji apples were used as experimental materials to analyze patulin by HPLC. Results indicated that higher patulin levels were concentrated in apples with higher decay degree. A declined patulin content was determined in apples from locations far way from decayed locations. Therefore, serious rotten apples should be removed.

Key words: rotten apple, patulin, distribution
