Aflatoxin M1 (AFM) is one of of many animals biotransformation products of aflatoxin B1 (AFB); The role of AFB1 as well as that of AFM1 as a potent hepatotoxic agent and hepatocarcinogen have been demonstrated. Ruminates and other iactating animals have been shown to secrete AFM1 in milk after been fed AFB1-Contaminated feed. About 1 to 3 per cent of AFB1 is recovered in the milk as AFM. AFM1 distribution in dairy products seems to be due to its strong binding to the casein fraction of milk.

Abstract


Aflatoxin M1 (AFM) is one of of many animals biotransformation products of aflatoxin B1 (AFB); The role of AFB1 as well as that of AFM1 as a potent hepatotoxic agent and hepatocarcinogen have been demonstrated. Ruminates and other iactating animals have been shown to secrete AFM1 in milk after been fed AFB1-Contaminated feed. About 1 to 3 per cent of AFB1 is recovered in the milk as AFM. AFM1 distribution in dairy products seems to be due to its strong binding to the casein fraction of milk.
