Özet
This study was performed to determine the
presence and levels of aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) in
yoghurt produced by traditional methods in small
scale enterprises in Mardin
located in Southeastern Turkey and to evaluate the
yoghurt in terms of food safety. A total of 90 yoghurt
samples, 42 from Mardin and 48 from
rfa were collected from small-scale retailers
and tested for AFM1 by enzyme-linked immunosorbent
assay (ELISA). AFM1 was detected in 34
(37.8 %) of 90 yoghurt samples at the levels ranging
from 10 to 515 ng/kg. Five (11.9 %) samples
(ranging from 10 to 515 ng/kg) from Mardin and 29
(60.4 %) samples (ranging from 10 to 101 ng/kg)
nl
AFM1. There was a statistically significant difference
between the samples collected Mardin and
rfa concerning the presence frequency of
AFM1 (p=0.000). The AFM1 levels of 16 (17.8 %)
positive yoghurt samples were higher than the legal
limits. The results of this study have revealed that
the traditionally produced homemade yoghurt is
contaminated with AFM1 and poses health risk for
consumers.
