Abstract
Approximately one-third of mankind is chronically exposed to the carcinogenic aflatoxin M1 contained in milk and dairy products and there is no ready to use procedure for decontamination purposes applicable in milk technology. Since β-cyclodextrin is frequently used in food industry, its effect on aflatoxin M1 concentration was investigated during cholesterol removal. So, milk samples were spiked with aflatoxin M1 at the average level 0.89 µg/kg and cholesterol removal was carried out by 2.0% (w/w) β-cyclodextrin addition. As found, average cholesterol concentration decreased by 92.3% while aflatoxin M1 concentration decreased to 0.53 µg/kg, i. e. by 39.1% after the treatment. The procedure itself is easy, inexpensive, and ready to use in milk processing technology on current production lines without any investments, thus fully applicable with a high potential of full aflatoxin M1 milk decontamination efficiency and such way to strengthen considerably the food safety issues associated with milk and dairy products on global level.
