Abstract

Aflatoxin B 1 (AFB 1 ), B 2 (AFB 2 ), G 1 (AFG 1 ) and G 2 (AFG 2 ) contents of 15 linden and 15 rosehip provided from supermarkets, herbalists and bazaars in Tekirdağ province were investigated using HPLC method. Samples were also assayed for moisture, water activity (a w ) total mesophilic aerobic bacteria (TMAB) and total yeast and mould counts. One of the linden samples was determined to contain AFG 1 and AFG 2 at levels of 0.158 µg/kg and 0.168 µg/kg, respectively. AFG 2 content of another linden sample was determined to be 0.162 µg/kg. Aflatoxin levels of these samples were lower than the maximum permissible levels. The rest of the samples were determined to be contaminated with at least one of the four aflatoxins with levels below LOQ (0.155; 0.168; 0.156; 0.162 µg/kg for AFB 1 , AFB 2 , AFG 1 , AFG 2 , respectively). The existence of aflatoxins in the samples even in low levels shows that plant materials such as linden and rosehip consumed as herbal tea by sensitive consumer groups may contain aflatoxins.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, Tekirdağ ili ve ilçelerindeki farklı satış noktalarından temin edilen 15 adet ıhlamur ve 15 adet kuşburnu örneğinde, aflatoksin B 1 (AFB 1 ), B 2 (AFB 2 ), G 1 (AFG 1 ) ve G 2 (AFG 2 ) varlığı HPLC yöntemi ile araştırılmıştır. Ayrıca, örneklerde nem, su aktivitesi (a w ) tayini, toplam mezofilik aerobik bakteri ve toplam maya küf sayımı da yapılmıştır. Aflatoksin analizi sonucunda, ıhlamur örneklerinden birinde 0.158 µg/kg AFG 1 ve 0.168 µg/kg AFG 2 , bir diğerinde ise 0.162 µg/kg AFG 2 bulunmuş, örneklerdeki aflatoksin miktarlarının yasal limitlerin altında olduğu belirlenmiştir. Diğer ıhlamur ve kuşburnu örneklerinde ise, düzeyi tayin limitinin (AFB 1 , AFB 2 , AFG 1 ve AFG 2 için sırasıyla 0.155, 0.168, 0.156, 0.162 µg/kg) altında olmakla birlikte, incelenen aflatoksinlerden en az biri tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışmada incelenen örneklerde düşük düzeyde de olsa aflatoksinlerin tespit edilmesi, özellikle hassas tüketici grupları tarafından bitki çayı olarak tüketilebilen ıhlamur ve kuşburnu gibi ürünlerde aflatoksinlerin bulunabileceğini göstermektedir.
