This study was conducted to determine the aflatoxin detoxification by yeast sludge in the feed of Sahiwal dairy cattle and established its dietary effect on the increased milk production. Aflatoxins produced by Aspergillus parasiticus on rice were mixed into the feed of dairy cattle and fed to lactating Sahiwal cows for 14 days. Cows were randomly divided into three groups to receive either no ...

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...

Male Fisher 344 rats were fed diets containing either 20% corn oil, 20% coconut oil or 18% coconut oil plus 2% corn oil for 3 wk. A single dose of [3H]aflatoxin B1 [(3H]AFB1) was administered ip and the biliary excretion of aflatoxin metabolites and the binding of 3H to nucleic acids were studied. In other experiments the in vitro metabolism of AFB1 by liver postmitochondrial supernatants prepa...

the purpose of this survey was to evaluate natural occurrence and content of aflatoxin m1 (afm1) in dairy products marketed in urmia (iran). during september 2007, 40 samples of pasteurized milk, 40 samples of ultra high temperature treated (uht) milk, 40 samples of creamy cheese and 40 samples of iranian feta cheese were collected from different supermarkets in urmia city. afm1 contents were d...

The aim of this study was to determine the contamination levels by aflatoxins M1, M2, G1, G2, B1 and B2 Ochratoxin A in 123 infant formula powder samples from metropolitan region Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. sensitive method using a modified Quick Easy Cheap Effective Rugged Safe (QuEChERS) ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) validated for application ...

Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) after its bioconversion from aflatoxin B1 in animal liver becomes the part of milk while heavy metals get entry into milk and milk products during handling in the supply chain. Aflatoxin M1 and heavy metals being toxic compounds are needed to be monitored continuously to avoid any ailments among consumers of foods contaminated with such toxicants. Thirteen commercially avail...

Introduction: Aflatoxins are secondary fungal metabolites produced by Aspergillus fungi, in particular Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus nomius and Aspergillus parasiticus. Aflatoxins have undesirable effects on human and animal health and lead to various diseases, including liver disorders. Four main types of aflatoxin are B1, B2, G1 and G2, and aflatoxin M1 and M2 are metabolites derived from a...

A direct competitive chemiluminescent enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (CL-ELISA) for detecting aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) was developed. To improve the sensitivity of the assay, a mixture of 3-(10'-phenothiazinyl)-propane-1-sulfonate (SPTZ) and 4-morpholinopyridine (MORPH) was used to enhance peroxidase-induced CL. The concentrations of the coating anti-AFM1 antibody and the conjugate of AFB1 with h...
