Abstract

In general, milk is a nutritious food and is very helpful in improving and maintaining a person's health. However, over the past 30 years, a number of studies have reported the presence of Aflatoxin M1 in milk and milk products worldwide. The contamination with Aflatoxin M1 in milk and dairy products has become an important issue all over the world. The presence of the mycotoxin in these products was a major concern particularly among children and infants, who are more sensitive than adults. This study reviewed recent data to summarize the current status of Aflatoxin M1 in milk and dairy products produced in various regions around the world, related regulations, reduction strategies, detection methods, and future research tasks. Strict regulation and superior milk-handling techniques are essential to minimize Aflatoxin M1 contamination in milk and dairy products using ever-evolving analytical techniques. Furthermore, education should be imparted to ensure that Aflatoxin M1 that may exist in milk and dairy products and its effects on human health are made aware of.

일반적으로 우유는 필요한 영양분이 풍부한 식품으로 사람의 건강 증진, 유지 등에 큰 도움을 주고 있다. 하지만 전 세계적으로 우유와 유제품에 Aflatoxin M1의 존재는 20~30년 전부터 알려져 왔다. Aflatoxin M1으로 오염된 우유와 유제품은 특히 지난 10년에서 20년 동안 전 세계적으로 중요한 문제이다. 특히, 이 제품들에서의 미코톡신의 존재는 특히 성인보다 더 민감한 어린이와 유아에게 중요한 문제이다. 이 총설에서는 최근의 자료를 검토하여 전 세계적으로 다양한 지역에서 생산되는 우유 및 유제품에서 발생한 Aflatoxin M1의 현황, 관련 규정, 감소 전략, 검출 방법, 향후 연구과제 등을 정리하였다. 우유 및 유제품의 Aflatoxin M1 오염을 최소화하기 위해서는 지속적으로 발전하고 있는 분석 기법을 이용한 엄격한 규제와 우수한 우유 처리기술이 반드시 필요하다. 더 나아가서, 우유 및 유제품에 존재할 수 있는 Aflatoxin M1이 인체 건강의 미치는 영향을 올바른 인식할 수 있도록 교육도 함께 진행되어야 할 것이다.
