There is scarce data on the mycotoxin profile in retailed fruit juices in Nigeria. Thirty-five industrially-processed fruit juice samples randomly purchased from retailers in Ogun state, Nigeria, were analysed for the presence of > 650 toxic fungal and plant metabolites using a liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometric method. Only 18 metabolites, including 3-nitropropionic acid, alternariol methylether and emodin, but excluding citrinin, fumonisin B₂, ochratoxin A and patulin, were detected in trace levels in at least one juice sample. Amygdalin, a plant cyanogen, was quantified (2.05–359 µg/L) in 40% of the samples. Although the levels of mycotoxins and toxic plant metabolites found in the juice may be relatively low, daily consumption of juices containing such low levels may contribute to dietary exposures to these natural chemical contaminants in consumers. Fruit juice processors should be encouraged to adhere strictly to good manufacturing practices in order to keep mycotoxins away from the final products.

尼日利亚零售果汁中霉菌毒素谱的数据很少。使用液相色谱串联质谱法分析了从尼日利亚奥贡州零售商处随机购买的35种工业加工果汁样品中的650种以上有毒真菌和植物代谢产物。只有18种代谢物，包括3-硝基丙酸，链烷醇甲醚和大黄素，但不包括桔霉素，伏马菌素B ₂在至少一个果汁样品中检测到痕量水平的och曲霉毒素A和棒曲霉素。在40％的样品中定量了一种植物氰精苦杏仁苷（2.05-359 µg / L）。尽管果汁中发现的霉菌毒素和有毒植物代谢物的含量可能相对较低，但每天摄入如此低含量的果汁可能会导致饮食中消费者接触这些天然化学污染物。应鼓励果汁加工商严格遵守良好的生产规范，以使霉菌毒素远离最终产品。
