Abstract

DETERMINATION OF AFLATOXIN M1 LEVELS IN ICE CREAM SOLD IN KARS PROVINCE In this study 50 unpackaged ice cream samples produced and retailed in Kars were tested for determining the presence of aflatoxin M1. The test results conducted by ELISA showed that the concentration of Aflatoxin M1 in 27 samples (54%) were lower than 0.005 µg/kg. In 6 samples (12%) the toxin levels were 0.005-0.05 µg/kg. However 17 samples (34%) were detected having toxin compound higher than the maximum tolerance limit accepted by European Union/Turkish Food Codex (0.05 µg/kg) for milk and milk products. The findings indicated that widespread occurence of Aflatokxin M in ice cream samples could be considered as possible hazard for public health, therefore they must be strictly controlled during their processing and storage

Kars İlinde Satışa Sunulan Dondurmalarda Aflatoksin M1 Varlığının Belirlenmesi

Abstract

ÖZET

Bu araştırmada Kars İli'nde üretilip ambalajsız olarak satılan 50 adet dondurma örneği aflatoksin M₁ varlığı yönünden analiz edilmiştir. ELISA tekniği ile yapılan analiz sonucu örneklerden 27 adedinde (%54) Aflatoksin M₁ miktarı <0,005 µg/kg olarak belirlenmiştir. Örneklerin 6 adedinde (%12) toksin miktarı 0,005-0,05 µg/kg'dır. Bununla birlikte, Avrupa Birliği ve Türk Gıda Kodeksi'nde süt ve ürünleri için belirtilen Aflatoksin M₁ limitini (0,05 µg/kg) aşan toplam 17 örnek (%34) tespit edilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler, dondurmaların halk sağlığı açısından tehlike oluşturabileceği ve bu nedenle üretim ve depolama sırasında kontrollerinin ciddi bir şekilde yapılması gerektiğine işaret etmiştir.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Dondurma, Aflatoksin M₁, ELISA

DETERMINATION OF AFLATOXIN M₁ LEVELS IN ICE CREAM SOLD IN KARS PROVINCE

 

In this study 50 unpackaged ice cream samples produced and retailed in Kars were tested for determining the presence of aflatoxin M₁. The test results conducted by ELISA showed that the concentration of Aflatoxin M₁ in 27 samples (54%) were lower than 0.005 µg/kg. In 6 samples (12%) the toxin levels were 0.005-0.05 µg/kg. However 17 samples (34%) were detected having toxin compound higher than the maximum tolerance limit accepted by European Union/Turkish Food Codex (0.05 µg/kg) for milk and milk products. The findings indicated that widespread occurence of Aflatokxin M₁ in ice cream samples could be considered as possible hazard for public health, therefore they must be strictly controlled during their processing and storage.
