Aflatoxin M1 in Human Breast Milk in Southeastern Turkey
(Springer Heidelberg, 2017) Altun, Serap Kilic; Gurbuz, Semra; Ayag, Emin
This study was performed to determine aflatoxin M-1 (AFM(1)) in human breast milk samples collected in AanlA +/- urfa, located in Southeastern region of Turkey, and to investigate a possible correlation between AFM(1) occurrence (frequency and levels) and sampling seasons. Human breast milk samples collected in December 2014 and in June 2015 from a total of 74 nursing women, both outpatient and inpatient volunteers in hospitals located in AanlA +/- urfa, Turkey, were analyzed using competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the presence of AFM(1). AFM(1) was detected in 66 (89.2%) out of 74 samples at an average concentration of 19.0 +/- 13.0 ng/l (min.-max., 9.6-80 ng/l). There was a statistically significant difference between December and June concerning AFM(1) levels (p < 0.05). Further detailed studies will be needed to determine the main sources of aflatoxins in food, to establish protection strategies against maternal and infant exposure to these mycotoxins.

AFLATOXIN M-1 IN TRADITIONAL HOMEMADE YOGHURTS MARKETED IN SOUTHEASTERN TURKEY
(PARLAR SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS (P S P), 2019) Gürbüz, Semra; Kılıç Altun, Serap
This study was performed to determine the presence and levels of aflatoxin M-1 (AFM(1)) in yoghurt produced by traditional methods in small scale enterprises in Mardin and Sanliurfa provinces located in Southeastern Turkey and to evaluate the yoghurt in terms of food safety. A total of 90 yoghurt samples, 42 from Mardin and 48 from $anhurfa were collected from small-scale retailers and tested for AFM(1) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). AFM(1) was detected in 34 (37.8 %) of 90 yoghurt samples at the levels ranging from 10 to 515 ng/kg. Five (11.9 %) samples (ranging from 10 to 515 ng/kg) from Mardin and 29 (60.4 %) samples (ranging from 10 to 101 ng/kg) from Sanliurfa were found to be contaminated with AFM(1). There was a statistically significant difference between the samples collected Mardin and Sanliurfa concerning the presence frequency of AFM(1) (p=0.000). The AFM(1) levels of 16 (17.8 %) positive yoghurt samples were higher than the legal limits. The results of this study have revealed that the traditionally produced homemade yoghurt is contaminated with AFM(1) and poses health risk for consumers.
