nine samples of fuzzy cottonseed potentially high in aflatoxin were separated into hulls, fines and meats. assays for aflatoxin on triplicate 50-g portions from fines (small, dry particles of kernels) and meats from each of the nine samples indicated a marked concentration of toxin in the fines. on average, there was a 17-fold difference between the aflatoxin content of the fines and that of the meats; the average toxin level in fines was 4024 $mu$ g/kg and that in the meat samples was 232 $mu$ g/kg. these results indicate a potential for marked reduction in aflatoxin content of processed cottonseed meal by physical removal of fines from meats after dehulling and before processing of meats into oil and meal. 2 refs
