Aflatoxin M1 Contamination in Dairy Products
Journal Title: Journal of Science and today’s world - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Mycotoxins are fungal secondary metabolites that if ingested can cause a variety of adverse effects on both humans and animals. Aflatoxins are toxic fungal metabolites found in foods and feeds. When ruminants eat AFB1-feedstuffs, they metabolise the toxin and excrete AFM1 in milk. To control AFM1 in foods it is necessary to reduce AFB1 contamination of feeds for dairy cattle by preventing fungal growth and AFB1 formation in agricultural commodities intended for animal use. Aflatoxin high concentration in milk and milk products cause widespread negative impact on public health. Therefore, it is necessary to establish strategies for reducing aflatoxin levels in animal feed and dairy products. In this paper, we review recent studies in aflatoxin M1 contamination in dairy products in Iran and various countries.
