Description

General description

Aflatoxins are metabolites of fungus, that are mainly seen in feeds and foods. Aflatoxin M₁ is a hydroxylated metabolite of aflatoxin B₁. It is liberated in milk, urine and produced in liver after receiving aflatoxin B₁.

Application

Aflatoxin M1 has been used as a standard to investigate the incidence and occurrence of aflatoxin M₁ (AFM₁) in Brazilian milk and infant formula. It has also been used as standard to investigate the incidence and occurrence of aflatoxin M1 (AFM₁) in dairy products produced in Brazil.

Aflatoxin M1 is both a hepatotoxic and hepatocarcinogenic mycotoxin that has been shown to cause immunosuppression in animals.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Aflatoxin M1 possesses hepatocarcinogenic properties.

Warning

Possibly carcinogenic.

Preparation Note
