Table 3 LOD and LOQ of AFs and OTA by HPLC analysis in meju

From: Natural occurrence of aflatoxins and ochratoxin A in meju and soybean paste produced in South Korea

Mycotoxin	LOD^a (μg/kg)	LOQ^b (μg/kg)	Linear equation^c	R^{2 d}	Range (μg/kg)
AFB₁	0.05	0.15	Y = 2441.0X + 7.8015	0.9974	0.01–10
AFB₂	0.05	0.15	Y = 2900.1X − 7.1994	0.9974	0.01–10
AFG₁	0.2	0.6	Y = 1293.4X + 1.7867	0.9988	0.01–10
AFG₂	0.2	0.6	Y = 1173.8X + 2.0294	0.9976	0.01–10
OTA	0.03	0.1	Y = 3935.1X + 324.6316	0.9996	0.005–10

^aLimit of detection
^bLimit of quantification
^cX = AFs or OTA concentration (μg/kg), Y = intensity
