[Aflatoxin M1 in milk and milk products. A comparison of some determination procedures].

Usual TLC-methods for the determination of Aflatoxin M1 in milk and milk products sometimes do not separate interfering substances with similar optical and chemical properties from Aflatoxin M1, thus leading to considerably incorrect results. Even after an additional clean-up on polystyrene column the solutions contain so many compounds that the identification of Aflatoxin M1 is difficult. The resolving power of HPLC yield pure frations, which may be determined by their MS and UV spectra.
