“…In previous studies performed in different countries, such as Brazil [13], Syria [14], Turkey [15], and Greece [16], high levels of aflatoxin M1 (mean>50 ng/l) in milk samples were reported. This is in agreement with our results.…”

Background and Purpose :Aflatoxin M1, in milk and dairy products, is classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as human carcinogens (class 2B). The aim of this study was to evaluate aflatoxin M1 contamination level in dairy products from Iranshahr city, Iran, using ELISA technique. Materials and Methods:In our study, 87 samples of milk, white cheese, yoghurt, and butter were collected in different seasons and after preparation, were analyzed by ELISA technique.Results:The contamination level of aflatoxin M1 in pasteurized milk (n=40) yoghurt (n=15), white cheese (n=6), and butter (n=10) samples were determined to be 81.6%, 83.3%, 60%, and 100%, respectively. However, in 8.1% of the pasteurized milk samples, aflatoxin M1 concentration was above the legal accepted limit (>50 ng). The level of aflatoxin M1 was significantly higher in winter compared to summer (P<0.05). In addition, the concentration of aflatoxin M1 was higher in urban regions than rural ones (P<0.05).Conclusion:The results of this study emphasized the importance of seasonal and regional effects on aflatoxin M1 contamination of dairy products.

“…There are numerous studies about the incidence of AFM1 in MDPs in Turkey (Aksoy et al, 2010;Ardic et al, 2009;Ayçiçek et al, 2005;Bakırdere et al, 2014;Colak et al, 2006;Ertaş et al, 2011;Golge 2014;Gurbay et al, 2006;Druç, 2003;Tosun & Ayyildiz, 2013). However, the number of studies on the incidence of AFM1 in milk, kashar, white cheese and butter in Sakarya is limited.…”

The purpose of this research is to determine the incidence and occurrence of aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) in 104 samples of milk, white cheese, kashar and butter in Sakarya, Turkey. Followed by immunoaffinity column (OAC) purification, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-fluorescence detection method was implemented to analyze the samples. Results show that 61.5% of milk, 40% of white cheese, 65.4% of kashar and 29.6% of butter contains AFM1. On 53 of samples (50.96%) are not determined AFM1. The amount of AFM1 in 51 samples (49.04%) ranges from 2.4 to 47.8 ng/L/kg. AFM1 levels do not exceed the limit set by Turkish regulations (50 ng/L/kg). However, the incidence of AFM1 contamination is a potential health risk for customers, particularly for children and infants. These results emphasize the significance of constant monitoring of AFM1 levels in milk and dairy products (MDPs) in Sakarya, Turkey.Keywords: aflatoxin M1, milk, white cheese, kashar, HPLC, fluorescence detection.Practical Application: Monitoring of aflatoxin M1 levels in milk and dairy products.

“…The presence of AFM 1 in dairy products has also been described in other countries. In Turkey, Ertas et al (2011) reported the presence of AFM 1 in 135 (64%) of 210 analyzed samples of various dairy products. In cheeses, the levels ranged from 0.01 to 0.37 µg/kg.…”
