Abstract
To conduct a risk assessment of $AFB_1$ intake, $AFM_1$, which is a metabolite of $AFB_1$ in the human and porcine urine, was determined by competitive direct ELISA (cdELISA). The detection limit of cdELISA using anti-$AFM_1$ antibody and $AFB_1$-HRP conjugate was 10 pg/mL. The recoveries of $AFM_1$ were 117-167% after the addition of $AFM_1$ in the human urine in a range of 3-100 pg/mL. 165 samples (95.5%) of those obtained from 172 persons evidenced measurable levels of urinary $AFM_1$. The detected $AFM_1$ ranges were 0-11.6 pg/mL and the average level of $AFM_1$ contamination was 2.74${\pm}$ 1.89 pg/mL. The estimated amount of $AFM_1$ excretion in the human urine was 3.97 ng/day and the estimated $AFB_1$ intake amount was 79.4 ng/day. The probable daily intake (PDI) of $AFB_1$ by the subjects was estimated to be 1.28 ng/kg bw/day, which was higher than the tolerable daily intake (TDI, 0.15 ng/kg bw/day). In the case of porcine urine, the $AFM_1$ ranged between 0.97-26.7 pg/mL and the average contaminated $AFM_1$ was 10.62${\pm}$4.39 pg/mL. The estimated amount of $AFM_1$ excretion in the porcine urine was 27.6 ng/day, and the estimated $AFB_1$ intake amount was 551 ng/day.
