| pubmed-article:6440890 | pubmed:abstractText | Protocols for detecting picogram quantities of aflatoxin M1 in dairy products were established. Milk samples were subjected to a reverse phase Sep-Pak C18 cartridge treatment before analysis by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) according to previously published procedures. M1 in yogurt, brick cheddar, and ripened Brie cheese was extracted by a modified Pons method, subjected to a normal phase silica cartridge treatment, and analyzed by ELISA. The detection limits for M1 in milk, yogurt, cheddar, and Brie were 10, 10, 50, and 25 ppt (ng/kg), respectively. Recovery for M1 added to these products was in the range 70-110%. Good agreement was found for M1 levels in several naturally contaminated milk samples analyzed by both ELISA and liquid chromatography. | lld:pubmed |
