| description | Aflatoxins are secondary metabolites
of toxigenic moulds of the Aspergillus species.
Aflatoxin M1, a metabolite of the potent carcinogen aflatoxin B1
(AFB1) occurs in milks of animals consuming feed contaminated with
AFB1. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence and
levels of aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) in UHT milk samples
consumed in Burdur city markets. In 2018, a total of 78 UHT milk samples were
randomly collected from different markets of Burdur. The occurrence and
contamination levels of AFM1 in the samples were investigated by the
competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. Aflatoxin M1
was detected in 24 of 78 samples (30.77 %) in concentrations between
4.30-127.44 ng/L (mean level: 47.54 ng/L). AFM1 levels in 11 of
these 24 positive samples were above legal limits of Turkey which is 50 ng/L
for milk samples. It is concluded that the occurrence of AFM1 in
milk samples in particular may be considered as a possible hazard for public
health. |
