A total of 20 samples of apple fruits and 10 samples of baby food were studied. The results showed that the recovery percentages were 83.1% and 80.3% in apple fruits, and baby food, respectively. The linearity of the method was (r<sup>2<\/sup>= 0.97) within the concentrates (50-250) ug\/L, and the level of patulin in the studied samples of apple fruits was ranged from 57.4 to 183.2\u00a0 ug\/L, while the average content of patulin in apple fruits was48.68 \u00a0ug\/L, and the level of patulin in 50% (10 samples) of them was higher than 50 ug\/L. The level of patulin in the studied samples of baby food was ranged from 55.3 to 81.5ug\/L, and the average content of patulin in baby food was 20.46 ug\/L but the level of patulin in 30% (3 samples) of them was higher than 10ug\/L.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key words<\/strong>: Patulin, Apple fruits, Baby food, <em>Aspergillus, Penicillium.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Full paper in Arabic:<a href=\"http:\/\/agri-research-journal.net\/sjar\/wp-content\/uploads\/vol3no2p9.pdf\">\u062a\u0639\u064a\u064a\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0628\u0627\u062a\u0648\u0644\u064a\u0646 \u0641\u064a \u0627\u0644\u062a\u0641\u0627\u062d \u0648\u0623\u063a\u0630\u064a\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0623\u0637\u0641\u0627\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0628\u0627\u0639\u0629 \u0641\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0648\u0642 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u062d\u0644\u064a\u0629 \u0644\u0645\u062f\u064a\u0646\u0629 \u062f\u0645\u0634\u0642 \u0648\u0631\u064a\u0641\u0647\u0627<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Faten Hamed(1) and Tahani Alhaddad*(1) (1).
