Abstract

This study was undertaken to determine the presence and levels of aflatoxin $M _1$ (AF$M _1$) in UHT milk and cheeses consumed in the province of Erzincan. For this purpose, a total of 100 samples containing 36 UHT milk, 18 white cheese, 17 kashar cheese, 10 tulum cheeses, 10 processed cheeses and 9 dil cheeses were used as the study material. The cheese samples were purchased randomly from different markets. The samples were analyzed by ELISA method. Different levels of AF$M _1$ were detected in 67 (67%) of the 100 UHT milk and cheese samples tested, and in 13 of the samples (13%) the amount of AF$M _1$ was found over the levels permitted by the Turkish Food Codex. Among these, 5.6% of UHT milk, 5.6% of white cheese, 29.4% of kashar cheese and 55.5% of dil cheese exceeded the Turkish safety limits. It was therefore concluded that, the aflatoxin contain of the some investigated samples exceed the tolerance levels. AF$M _1$ has hazardous effect for the public health for this reason the AF$M _1$ levels must be decreased.

Özet

Bu çalışma, Erzincan ilinde tüketime sunulan UHT süt ve peynir örneklerinde aflatoksin $M _1$ (AF$M _1$) varlığını ve düzeylerini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Bu amaçla, 36 UHT süt, 18 beyaz peynir, 17 kaşar peyniri, 10 tulum peyniri, 10 eritme peyniri ve 9 dil peyniri olmak üzere toplam 100 örnek çalışma materyali olarak kullanılmıştır. Örnekler ELISA yöntemiyle analiz edilmiştir. Analiz edilen UHT süt ve peynir örneğinin 67’sinde (%67) farklı düzeylerde AF$M _1$ tespit edilmiş ve örneklerin 13’ünde (%13) Türk Gıda Kodeksi Gıda Maddelerindeki Bulaşanların Maksimum Limitleri Hakkında Tebliğ’de belirtilen düzeylerden yüksek bulunmuştur. AF$M _1$ tespit edilen UHT süt numunelerinin %5.6’sı, beyaz peynir numunelerinin %5.6’sı, kaşar peyniri numunelerinin %29.4’ü ve dil peyniri numunelerinin %55.5’inin yasal limitleri aştığı saptanmıştır. Sonuç olarak, analiz edilen örneklerin bazılarında AF$M _1$ seviyesinin limit sınırlarının üstünde olduğu belirlenmiş ve AF$M _1$’in halk sağlığına olan zararlı etkileri göz önüne alındığında analiz edilen değerlerin daha aşağılara çekilmesine yönelik uygulamaların gerekli olduğu düşünülmektedir.
