Evaluación de muestras de aceite de ricino para detectar una potencial contaminación con toxinas

Agradecimientos

Deseamos expresar nuestro reconoci-
miento al Sr. Fred Hawco por llamar-
nos la atención sobre este tema y por
las muestras de aceite de ricino que él
y el Sr. Polara nos proveyeron. También
deseamos agradecer a la Srta. Jenny
Brichta por su colaboración en el sumi-
nistro de los números para la publica-
ción y el análisis.
