Abstract

Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) is a category of poisonous compounds found in milk and dairy products. The target of our research is to determine incidence and risk assessment AFM1 through the consumption of cheese in Hamadan province of Iran. Seventy cheese samples including cream cheese (n = 30) and Iranian white cheese (n = 40) were collected from different regions of Hamadan province, Iran and tested for AFM1 by ELISA technique. The estimated daily intake (EDI) and hazard index (HI) of AFM1 was determined. AFM1 was detected in 67 (95.7%) samples, including of 39 (97.5%) Iranian white cheese (mean: 115.16 ng/kg; range:
