Aflatoxins are mycotoxins produced by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus that can contaminate human and animal foods, including corn, wheat, rice, peanuts, and many other crops resulting in the illness or death of human and animal consumers. The aim of this study was to detect aflatoxin B1, B2, G1, G2 and total aflatoxin in Kashkineh, a traditional Iranian food.
This survey was conducted to detect aflatoxins on 41 samples of Kashkineh. The samples were randomly collected from traditional bazaars and supermarkets of Khorramabad city of Iran. The presence and quantity of aflatoxins was determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
The average concentrations of AFB1, AFB2, AFG1, and AFG2 in all samples and in a mixed sample of all samples were not detectable (ND). The only sample that showed aflatoxin contamination was sample number 29 of which the AFB1 concentration was 0.64 ng/g.
Although some people believe Kashkineh is carcinogenic due to toxins, this study showed kashkineh is not contaminated with aflatoxins.
黄曲霉毒素是由黄曲霉和寄生曲霉产生的霉菌毒素,可污染人类和动物的食物,包括玉米、小麦、大米、花生及许多其他作物,导致人类和动物食用者患病或死亡。本研究的目的是检测伊朗传统食品卡什基内(Kashkineh)中的黄曲霉毒素B1、B2、G1、G2及总黄曲霉毒素。
本调查旨在检测41份卡什基内样品中的黄曲霉毒素。样品随机采集自伊朗霍拉马巴德市的传统集市和超市。黄曲霉毒素的存在及含量通过高效液相色谱法(HPLC)测定。
所有样品及所有样品的混合样品中黄曲霉毒素B1、B2、G1和G2的平均浓度均未检出(ND)。唯一显示黄曲霉毒素污染的样品是29号样品,其黄曲霉毒素B1浓度为0.64 ng/g。
尽管有些人认为卡什基内因毒素具有致癌性,但本研究表明卡什基内未被黄曲霉毒素污染。
