Cheeses were produced in three cheese-making trials using raw milk that was artificially contaminated with AFM(1) at the levels of 50, 250 and 750 ng/l and allowed to ripen for three months. AFM(1) determinations were carried out at intervals by LC with fluorescence detection after immunoaffinity column clean-up. During the syneresis of the cheese a proportionately high concentration of AFM(1) remained in curd and for each trial the level was 3.6, 3.8 and 4.0 times higher than levels in milk. At the end of the ripening, the distribution of AFM(1) for cheese/whey + brine samples was 0.9, 1.0 and 1.3 for first, second and third spiking respectively indicating that nearly half of the AFM(1) remained in cheese. It has been found that only 2 - 4% of the initial spiking of AFM(1) transferred into the brine solution. During the ripening period AFM(1) levels remained constant suggesting that AFM(1) was quite stable during manufacturing and ripening.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessChemistryFood science & technologyToxicologyDistributionStabilityTaditional white pickled cheeseAflatoxin M-1StrainsBehaviorManufactureTurkeyFateStorageM1Milk-productsDairy-productsLactic-acid bacteriaArticle0002350033000122-s2.0-3214446278419019523216449062Chemistry, appliedFood science & technologyToxicologyAflatoxin M1; Raw Milk; Mycotoxins
