摘要

Aflatoxin M-1 (AFM(1)) was found in all of the 240 raw milk samples collected from milk tanks of 80 dairy farms at a collecting center in the central region of Thailand. Milk samples from individual farms were collected in three seasons. The average concentration of AFM(1) in milk samples collected in winter (0.089 +/- A 0.034 mu g/L) was significantly higher than those in rainy season (0.071 +/- A 0.028 mu g/L) and summer (0.050 +/- A 0.021 mu g/L). The present study suggests that regulatory limits for AFM(1) are needed to regulate and ensure the quality of raw milk and milk products in Thailand.
