In this study, aflatoxin M(1) (AFM(1)) contamination was investigated in Surk cheese, a traditional Turkish cheese consumed particularly in southern Turkey. For this purpose, 120 Surk cheese samples were collected from different retail markets and analysed by enzyme-linked immunoassay. The level of AFM(1) varied from 16 to 1,043 ng/kg in 72 of the Surk samples (60%), 16 of which (13.3% of 120 samples) contained AFM(1) amounts exceeding the maximum tolerance limit (250 ng/kg) established in Turkey. The results indicated that the occurrence of AFM(1) in Surk cheese samples may be considered as a possible risk for consumer health.
在本研究中,对土耳其南部特别消费的传统土耳其奶酪Surk奶酪中的黄曲霉毒素M1(AFM1)污染情况进行了调查。为此,从不同零售市场收集了120份Surk奶酪样品,并通过酶联免疫吸附测定法进行分析。在72份Surk样品(60%)中,AFM1水平在16至1043 ng/kg之间变化,其中16份(占120份样品的13.3%)所含AFM1量超过了土耳其规定的最大耐受限量(250 ng/kg)。结果表明,Surk奶酪样品中AFM1的存在可能被视为对消费者健康的一种潜在风险。
