Determination of Aflatoxin M1 levels in some cheese types consumed in Erzurum - Turkey

In this study the total 304 cheese samples (85 white cheese, 75 kashar cheese, 62 civil cheese, 82 cream cheese) were examined in terms of AFM1. The AFM1 content and concentrations of the samples were researched by competitive ELISA method. Determinable limit was 50 ng/kg and it was determined that...

Zusammenfassung:In this study the total 304 cheese samples (85 white cheese, 75 kashar cheese, 62 civil cheese, 82 cream cheese) were examined in terms of AFM1. The AFM1 content and concentrations of the samples were researched by competitive ELISA method. Determinable limit was 50 ng/kg and it was determined that white cheese samples included 82.4% AFM1, kashar cheese samples 80%, civil cheese samples 19.4% and cream cheese samples 84.2%. According to European Commission limit (250 ng/kg), the sample incidence exceeding the acceptable limits were 27.1%, 34.7%, 17.1% in white cheese, kashar cheese and cream cheese samples, respectively. The sample ratio exceeding the limits regulated by Turkish Food Codex (500 ng/kg) was determined in white cheese, kashar cheese and cream cheese samples as 16.5% (14/85), 14.7% (11/75) and 6.1% (5/82) respectively, any sample exceeding these limits was not met in civil cheese samples. As understood from these results, high AFM1 level determined in some cheese types is an important problem threatening the public health in Turkey. Bu çalışmada toplam 304 peynir örneği (85 beyaz peynir, 75 kaşar peynir, 62 civil peynir, 82 krem peynir) AFM1 yönünden incelendi. Örneklerin AFM1 içeriği ve konsantrasyonu kompetitiv ELISA metoduyla araştırıldı. AFM1'in belirlenebilir limiti 50 ng/kg olup, beyaz peynir örneklerinin %82.4, kaşar peynir örneklerinin %80, civil peynir örneklerinin %19.4 ve krem peynir örneklerinin ise %84.2'ünde bu maddeye rastlandı. Avrupa Komisyonu'na göre AFM1 yönünden yasal limitleri (250 ng/kg) aşan numune oranı beyaz peynir, kaşar peynir ve krem peynir örneklerinde sırasıyla %27.1, %34.7, %17.1 olarak belirlendi. Türk Gıda Kodeksi'ne göre yasal limitleri (500 ng/kg) aşan numune oranı beyaz peynir, kaşar peynir ve krem peynir örneklerinde sırasıyla %16.5 (14/85), %14.7 (11/75) ve %6.1 (5/82) olarak belirlenirken civil peynir numunelerinde sözkonusu limitleri aşan numuneye rastlanmadı. Bu sonuçlardan anlaşılacağı gibi yüksek AFM1 düzeyi Türkiye'de halk sağlığını tehdit eden önemli bir problemdir.
