摘要
Aflatoxin M-1 (AFM(1)) in milk is among the most carcinogenic compounds, relatively high levels being consumed, especially by the most vulnerable age groups, i.e. infants and the elderly. Reports on its prevalence are constantly being received from various parts of the world compelling nations to establish their own standard limits for AFM(1). Global review of the literature indicates the existence of methods of partial decontamination of AFM(1,) however; evidence based studies do not suggest that any single strategy as a coherent and complete solution to the issue. Microbial decontamination of AFM(1) has emerged as the most suitable method up to now but the stability of toxin-microbial cell complexes still remains questionable. This review discusses the chemical nature, established maximum permissible limits and prevalence of AFM(1) in various countries from 2009 to 2014. Moreover, the possible mechanisms for AFM(1) reduction mainly the microbial decontamination and the stability and bioaccessibility of microbial-AFM(1) complexes are also discussed.
