“…When fermented milk is produced using milk contaminated with AFM 1 , the mycotoxins are not eliminated at once, as they are resistant to most processing steps (Behfar et al, 2012). Therefore, to safeguard human health, maximum limits of AFM 1 residues recommended in most countries range from 0 to 1.0 μg/L of milk (Iqbal et al, 2015).…”

The occurrence of aflatoxin M1 in industrial and traditional fermented milk

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 of AFM1 in dairy products varies based on several factors, including the fermentation process. In this article, the published citations from January 2000 to October 2020 regarding the AFM1 occurrence in industrial and traditional fermented milk were systemically reviewed. According to the findings, a reducing trend in the AFM1 contamination of fermented milk was observed over the years, mainly in traditional products. Despite this trend, further control measures besides the preventative approaches are needed to deal with the high levels of AFM1 in fermented milk.

“…The presence of AFM1 in milk has been shown in several surveys conducted in different regions of Iran using thin layer chromatography [ 19 , 20 ], high-performance liquid chromatography [ 21 – 23 ], or ELISA [ 24 – 34 ], and also in different countries worldwide: Brazil [ 13 ], Portugal [ 35 ], Spain [ 36 ], Lebanon [ 37 ], Syria [ 38 ], Turkey [ 39 – 42 ], Pakistan [ 43 – 45 ], South Korea [ 46 ], Sudan [ 47 ], Egypt [ 48 ], Morocco [ 49 , 50 ], Thailand [ 51 ], Indonesia [ 52 ], India [ 53 ], China [ 54 ], Serbia [ 1 , 55 ], and Croatia [ 56 , 57 ]. However, no published research is available on AFM1 levels in produced raw milk in Fars province.…”

The competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique was used to evaluate aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) levels in 168 samples of raw milk (135 samples and 33 samples from bulk tanks of farms and milk collection centers, respectively) and 12 samples of pasteurized milk in Fars province, Southern Iran. AFM1 was found in 55.56% of the samples with a mean concentration of 21.31 ng/L. The concentration of AFM1 in raw milk samples from farms was significantly (p<0.05) lower than that in samples from collection centers and pasteurized milk. The concentration of AFM1 was not influenced by season, location, or type of farm. The concentrations of AFM1 in all samples were lower than the Iranian national standard limit (100 ng/L), but in 30% of raw cow milk samples they were higher than the maximum tolerance limit accepted by the European Union (50 ng/L); therefore, more effort is needed to control AFM1 levels in milk produced in Southern Iran.

“…The method for extraction, detection and quantification of aflatoxin M1 in the milk samples was done in a dark room according to Behfar et al (2012) with minor modifications. Fifty milliliters of the milk samples were measured in Teflon tubes, warmed up in the water bath (ThermoHaake IP30, Germany) set at 37°C.…”

The aim of this study was to determine the level of aflatoxin M 1 (AFM 1 ) in pasteurized and UHT milk marketed in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. AFM 1 in pasteurized milk samples (75) and ultra-high temperature (UHT) milk (43) was determined by using immuno-affinity high performance liquid chromatography. AFM 1 was detected in 97% (115/118) of samples that consisted of 96% (72/75) of pasteurized milk samples and 100% (43/43) of UHT milk samples. About 82% of the contaminated pasteurized and UHT had AFM 1 levels above EU acceptable levels (0.05 µg/L). However, none of the contaminated pasteurized and UHT milk sample had levels of AFM 1 above the maximum recommended Codex limits (0.5 µg/L). The results indicate that the contamination of the samples with AFM 1 at such level could pose a serious public health problem. Thus, regular monitoring of AFM 1 levels in milk is important in order to protect consumers.
