Abstract
The presence of aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) in milk is a global public health problem with serious socioeconomic consequences. In this study, the presence and concentration of AFM1 in bulk milk (n = 172) were evaluated in April, July, September, and December 2022 across 47 Czech dairy farms. The AFM1 concentration was analysed via an immunochromatographic method (Charm MRL AFM1 Quantitative Test). AFM1 was detected in 23 examined samples (13.4%) from 17 dairy farms, of which the AFM1 concentrations in only two samples (at one farm) exceeded the maximum residue limit in the European Union (0.050 μg/l). The average AFM1 concentration was 0.0037 μg/l. The effect of season was not statistically significant, but AFM1 was detected more frequently in September (autumn; 18.6%) and less frequently in July (summer; 11.1%). Except for total solids (p = 0.0447), no statistically significant differences in the monitored milk parameters (fat, protein, casein, lactose contents, somatic cell count, and freezing point depression) were observed.
期刊介绍:
Food Control is an international journal that provides essential information for those involved in food safety and process control.
Food Control covers the below areas that relate to food process control or to food safety of human foods:
• Microbial food safety and antimicrobial systems
• Mycotoxins
• Hazard analysis, HACCP and food safety objectives
• Risk assessment, including microbial and chemical hazards
• Quality assurance
• Good manufacturing practices
• Food process systems design and control
• Food Packaging technology and materials in contact with foods
• Rapid methods of analysis and detection, including sensor technology
• Codes of practice, legislation and international harmonization
• Consumer issues
• Education, training and research needs.
The scope of Food Control is comprehensive and includes original research papers, authoritative reviews, short communications, comment articles that report on new developments in food control, and position papers.
