Molds that produce aflatoxins which are dangerous chemicals include Aspergillusflavus and Aspergillusparasiticus. Aflatoxin is a term used to describe four types of mycotoxins produced: B1 B2 G1 G2 M1 and M2. When ruminants absorb aflatoxins B1 and B2 the poisons are metabolized and excreted in milk as AFM1 and M2. Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) the most hazardous is a potent carcinogenic that has been related to major health impacts in both animals and people including liver cancer. Biotransformation of ingested AFB1 occurs primarily in the liver. AFM1 has a lower hazardous potency than AFB1 but it is significantly more thermal stability. AFM1 was initially classified as a group 2B carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) suggesting that it is a probable human carcinogen. To maintain food safety and human health the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) and the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) have set a maximum residual limit for AFM1 in dairy products at 500 ng/kg. As a result detecting AFM1 requires a sensitive robust and dependable technique. Chromatographic methods such as Thin Layer Chromatography Gas Chromatography and High-Performance Liquid Column Chromatography are now employed to detect AFM1 in dairy products and provide confirming results.
