Background & Aims: Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) is a major metabolite of aflatoxin B1 detected in the milk of mammals that their foods have been contaminated with aflatoxins. Aflatoxins are a group of highly toxic metabolites produced by the common fungi Aspergillus flavus, A. parasiticus. They are among the most potent carcinogens found in foods. Considering its risk to the human health and high consum...

A model capable of predicting the minimum content of Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) in Iranian while brine cheese has been developed using a chemometric approach to determine the optimum processing conditions. Renneting temperature, cut size, stirring time, press time, curd size and saturated brine pH were all regarded as process variables. Threedimensional response surface and contour plots were drawn. T...

Aflatoxins (AFs) are highly toxic secondary metabolites produced by several Aspergillus, Penicillium and Rhizopus species in crops and plant products, of which aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is the most representative (Goldblatt, 1969). If AFB1 is present in the feed of lactating animals, they will excrete aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) into their milk (Allcroft and Carnaghan, 1963; Cupid et al., 2004; Battacone et ...

A sophisticated pretreatment method that combines solid-phase dispersive extraction (SPDE) and fluorescence derivatization using immunoaffinity (IA) gel was developed to analyze aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) in cheese by liquid chromatography. Cheese samples were homogenized adding acetonitrile/methanol/purified water mixture (6:1:3, v/v/v), followed purification SPDE. Trifluoroacetic acid added the IA f...

Aflatoxins (AF) are a group of toxic secondary metabolites mostly produced by strains Aspergillus spp. fungi. There several types aflatoxins (AFB1, AFG1, AFB2, AFG2, AFM1, AFM2, etc.), but the most and common is AFB1. have been shown to possess powerful carcinogenic, mutagenic teratogenic properties. AFB1 can contaminate feed food during growth and/or storage under inappropriate conditions. Whe...

Introducción: La aflatoxina M1 (AFM1) es un metabolito tóxico derivado de la B. Su ingestión en lactantes se ha relacionado con retraso el crecimiento, aumento susceptibilidad a enfermedades infecciosas, reducción eficiencia inmunización y cirrosis. En Paraguay recomienda lactancia exclusiva hasta los 6 meses, sin embargo comercializan diferentes marcas fórmulas infantiles dirigidas menores mes...

Background: Mycotoxins naturally occur in foods. Aflatoxins can cause serious health problems in consumers. Nowadays, biological detoxification method is considered to decrease the aflatoxins level in foods. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of kefir starter microorganisms to decrease the aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) levels in milk. Methods: The study was carried out at Shabestar branch,...

background: aflatoxin m1 (afm1) is a toxic and carcinogenic mycotoxin which after presence in milk and dairy products such as cheese and butter could make them as contaminated food. the main objective of this study was to evaluate the concentration of afm1 in pasteurized and traditional cheese marketed in southern khorasan, from december 2011 to january 2012. methods: a total of 102 cheese samp...

Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) is a toxic secreted into the milk of animals fed with diets contaminated by aflatoxin B1, which can cause some adverse health effects in humans. The occurrence AFM1 dairy products varies based on several factors, including fermentation process. In this article, published citations from January 2000 to October 2020 regarding industrial and traditional fermented were systemica...
