URBAN, Georgina et al. AFLATOXIN M₁ IN GOAT MILK AND CHEESE PRODUCED IN APASEO EL GRANDE, GUANAJUATO, MEXICO. Rev Salud Anim. [online]. 2010, vol.32, n.2, pp.84-88. ISSN 0253-570X.

The present study was conducted to assess the level of aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) in goat milk and cheese. Milk samples (n=60) were taken during the period July 2008 to June 2009 from 5 goats production units. Cheese samples (n=20) were taken in July 2009. Samples were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using the methods proposed by the AOAC. The results show 30% of milk samples with some level of AFM1, 18% were above the maximum permissible level (0.05 µg Kg^-1) by the European Community, with a peak of 1.61 µg Kg^-1. Cheese samples showed a 15% incidence of AFM1, with a maximum level of 0.23 µg Kg^-1.
