Abstract:Aflatoxin (AF), a mycotoxin produced by several genera of fungi, is an important concern in milk-based products due to its toxicity and health consequences. The present study evaluates whether UV-A irradiation can preserve the composition of whole milk (WM) while degradaing these toxins. In addition, this study also investigates the expression of p53 proteins which can be correlated with carcinogenocity. UV-A irradiation experiments were conducted using a near collimated beam system operating at 365 nm. AFs at… Show more
