Occurrence of Zearalenone in raw animal origin food produced in North-West of Iran

Introduction: Zearalenone is a mycotoxin compound produced mainly by the Fusarium species of fungi which is present in several types of foods. T he purpose of this study was to determine the zearalenone in raw animal origin food produced in North-West of Iran . Materials and methods: From June to December 2012, a total of 210 samples (containing 70 raw milk, 70 meat and 70 liver) were obtai...

Aminoglycoside residues in food of animal origin.

Occurrence of Listeria Monocytogenes in Selected Food of Animal Origin

The present study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of Listeria monocytogenes in selected raw materials and food products of animal origin in Poland. In total, 1118 fish and fish products, and 2172 meat and meat products samples were examined by using ISO culture method. Out of 478 pork samples examined 45 (9.41%) contained L. monocytogenes.

Radioecological investigation of food of animal origin in Belgrade environment.

The activity concentrations of 40K, 238U, 232Th and 137Cs were measured using gamma spectrometric method in different food chain samples from Serb Belgrade environment during the periods May-June 2007 and May-June 2008 year. Relatively high activities of 40K and 137Cs were detected in the soil. These results indicate that 137Cs is present in Belgrade environment even 20 years after nuclear acci...

The Control of Aflatoxin Residues in Food of Animal Origin

Apart from its presence in primary agricultural products, aflatoxin and its metabolites may be detected in animal tissues and milk. As the aflatoxins are toxic and extremely carcinogenic, control of food contamination with them is imperative. Either the primary aflatoxins (H 1,B2, G1 andG2) or their metabolites (M1 and M2) have been recovered from several animal tissues and milk. The bio-assay ...
