The content limit for allatoxin B1 in feedstuffs of the European Common Market Commission can result in the presence of aflatoxin in milk, Traces of aflatoxin have been found in milk, depending on the feedstuff used, feeding conditions and the season of the year. These results were confirmed by thin-layer chromatography, by chemical reactions and by fluorescence spectra. Metabolic investigation...

in this investigation aflatoxin contamination of eighty different iranian white cheeses were determined by t.l.c. method. the result of this study showed that, 97.5% of the samples contained aflatoxin m1 & m2 which are transferred from milk. as far as direct contamination, 30% of the samples contained aflatoxin b1, g1, g2, from which 2.5% contained aflatoxin b1, 5% contained aflatoxin b2, 20% c...

background: aflatoxin m1 (afm1) is a major carcinogenic compound that may be existed in milk and dairy products. this study was aimed to determine the presence of afm1 in industrial and traditional yogurt samples produced in iran. methods: a total of 80 yogurt samples (40 industrial, 40 traditional) was collected from supermarkets in yazd city, iran. afm1 content of the selected samples was det...

A collaborative study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of an immunoaffinity column cleanup liquid chromatographic method for determination of aflatoxin M1 in milk at proposed European regulatory limits. The test portion of liquid milk was centrifuged, filtered, and applied to an immunoaffinity column. The column was washed with water, and aflatoxin was eluted with pure acetonitrile. ...

Background & Aims: Aflatoxin M1 is one of the most important toxins present in milk and the product of aflatoxin B1 metabolism in liver microsomes. The aim of this project was to study the aflatoxin M1 adsorption ability of polystyrene-hydroxyapatite nanocomposite. Methods: First, the probability of aflatoxin M1 adsorption by the nanocomposite was evaluated using the HyperChem simulation softwa...

In this study, a total of 100 mouldy cheese samples were collected from randomly selected markets from 5 different cities of Turkey during October and November. Samples were analyzed for aflatoxin M1 by using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique. Aflatoxin M1 was detected in 52 samples and their levels ranged from 10.6 to 702 ng/kg. The widespread presences of aflatoxin M1 in mou...

Aspergillums can produce and secrete directly aflatoxin M1. During the previous decade several papers pertaining to aflatoxin M1 have been published in different journals. Not mention of their more or less scientific aspects, they have fundamentally some problems in different features. In this paper we are going to have a bird's eye view on some articles published on this topic. It is suggested...

Background & objectives: Aflatoxins are secondary metabolites of fungi and one of the most important types of mycotoxins identified as a carcinogen for humans. The aim of this study was to determine the level of aflatoxin M1 in milk production of dairy factories in east Azerbaijan province by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Methods: In this study, 45 samples of pasteurized milk ...
