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 obtained ...

Models of hydrogen and oxygen incorporation in human tissues recognize the impact of geographic location on the isotopic composition of fluid intake, but inputs can include nonlocal beverages, such as milk. Milk and cow drinking water were collected from dairies, and commercially available milk was purchased from supermarkets and fast food restaurants. It was hypothesized that milk water delta(...

The quality has always been a requirement of safety in the modern economy in Algeria; it is also an ongoing concern, if not a priority or a necessity as well and foremost for the consumer and for the producer and the processor, activating within the chain of production and marketing of milk and dairy products. Series of analyzes were performed on milk powder as raw material and the reconstitute...

an efficient protocol for the selective oxidation of primary alcohols to aldehydes withh5io6/v2o5 in ionic liquid [bmpy][pf6] has been developed. high yields of the products, mildreaction conditions and simple experimental procedure make this protocol complementary tothe existing methods. the catalyst can be reused for several times without obvious loss of thecatalytic activity.

A rapid and accurate method to identify bovine and ewe milk adulteration of fresh water buffalo mozzarella cheese by using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS) is described. The differentiation among mozzarella made from water buffalo milk and from mixtures of less expensive bovine and, more recently, ewe milk with water buffalo milk is achi...

in this survey aflatoxin contamination of fifty two samples of raw milk and nine samples of commercial milk were determined by t.l.c. method. the results showed that 92.31% of the samples of raw milk and all the samples of commercial milk were contaminated by aflatoxin m1 and m2. none of the samples contained alatoxin b1, b2, g1 and g2. the maximum amounts of 23/. g/lit and 20.1 g/lit were foun...

background aflatoxins are one of the most potent toxic substances that occur naturally. nowadays extensive attention has been taken to their existence in food and environment, as there is the possibility of harm to humans following chronic exposure to extremely low levels via food chain. aflatoxin m1 (afm1) is a hepatic carcinogenic metabolite found in the milk of lactating animals fed with con...

The objectives were to identify the source of Listeria monocytogenes in bulk tank milk (BTM), and to assess characteristics of Petrifilm Environmental Listeria (PEL) for detection of this pathogen in farm samples. Environmental and milk samples were collected from a dairy during two sampling periods. Follow-up samples of daily BTM and milk filters were collected. Isolates of L. monocytogenes we...
