Abstract
During an initial survey, using thin layer chromatography, 10 of 64 samples of mothers’ breast milk, collected from donors at the Corniche Maternity Hospital and the Al-Nehyan Clinic for Maternity and Childhood, were found to contain Aflatoxin M1 at concentrations ranging from 0.3 to 1.3 ng mL−1. A second survey using HPLC showed Aflatoxin M1 at concentrations ranging from 7 to 23 pg mL−1 in all of the 15 samples collected. 6 of 20 samples of camel milk collected from several sources in Abu Dhabi were also found to contain Aflatoxin M1 at levels ranging from 0.25 to 0.8 ng mL−1.Keywords
