This study examined the presence of Aflatoxin M (AFM) in raw milk, cheese, and cheese halva samples collected from the Çanakkale province of Turkey. Raw milk, Ezine cheese, and cheese halva samples (n 120 for each group, total 360) were collected from bazaars, local manufacturers, and supermarkets in the Çanakkale province of Turkey during 2014 and 2015. ELISA was used to detect AFM in these products. AFM mean values were 5.14-78.69, 19.43-158.30, and 50.25-213.50 ng/kg in raw milk, Ezine cheese, and cheese halva samples, respectively. The levels of AFM1 in four raw milk samples (3.3%) were above the legal limits, whereas AFM levels in Ezine cheese and cheese halva samples were within the legal limits according to the requirements of the Turkish Food Codex and the European Commission. Turkey has a wealth of cultures and local delicacies. Over previous decades, gastronomic tourism in Turkey has become popular owing to an increase in visitor demand, and traditional foods are being exported abroad. Our research investigated the presence of AFM in these types of food products. Çanakkale is one of the best representative cities in the Marmara Region in Turkey as a source of these unique products.
本研究检测了土耳其恰纳卡莱省采集的生奶、奶酪和奶酪糖霜样本中黄曲霉毒素 M（AFM）的存在情况。2014 年至 2015 年，在土耳其恰纳卡莱省的集市、当地制造商和超市采集了生奶、埃兹尼奶酪和奶酪糖霜样本（每组 120 个，总计 360 个）。采用 ELISA 法检测这些产品中的 AFM。生奶、埃兹尼奶酪和奶酪糖霜样本中 AFM 的平均值分别为 5.14-78.69、19.43-158.30 和 50.25-213.50ng/kg。4 个生奶样本（3.3%）中 AFM1 的含量超过了法定限量，而埃兹尼奶酪和奶酪糖霜样本中的 AFM 含量则符合土耳其食品法典和欧盟委员会的要求。土耳其拥有丰富的文化和地方美食。过去几十年来，由于游客需求的增加，土耳其的美食旅游变得流行起来，传统食品也开始出口到国外。我们的研究调查了这些食品中 AFM 的存在情况。恰纳卡莱作为这些独特产品的来源之一，是土耳其马尔马拉地区最好的代表性城市之一。
