This survey evaluated the presence of AFM1 in human urine samples from a specific Brazilian population, as well as corn, peanut, and milk consumption measured by two types of food inquiry. Urine samples from donors who live in the city of Piracicaba, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil were analyzed to detect the presence of aflatoxin M1 (AFM1), an aflatoxin B1 metabolite, which may be used as aflatoxin B1 exposure biomarker. The AFM1 analysis was performed using immunoaffinity clean-up and detection by high-performance-liquid chromatography with fluorescence detector. A total of 69 samples were analyzed and 45 of them (65%) presented contaminations P1.8 pg ml 1 , which was the limit of quantification (LOQ). Sev |
