아플라톡신(aflatoxin)은 곰팡이의 2차 대사산물이며 인간발암원으로 보건상 위해를 준다. 쌀은 아플라톡신을 생성하는 곰팡이인 Aspergillus flavus와 A. parasitidcus에 좋은 기질이다. 이 연구에서는 쌀과 쌀제품 및 쌀부산물에서 전세계적으로 나타나고 있는 아플라톡신 오염 정도와 오염 수준에 대하여 고찰하였다. 아플라톡신 오염 정도와 오염 수준은 시료의 유형과 시료채취 지역에 따라 다르게 나타나는 것으로 보인다. 쌀과 쌀제품 2,511 시료 중 36.6%에서, 그리고 쌀부산물 374 시료 중 57.8%에서 아플라톡신이 검출되었다. 이들 시료에서 aflatoxin $B_{1}$ 및 total aflatoxin오염도는 $0-185{\mu}g/kg$였다. 일부 백미 시료에서는 $20{\mu}g/kg$을 초과하는 시료가 있었다. 쌀의 아플라톡신 관련 위생관리지표를 고안할 수 있는 기초자료를 제공하기 위하여 쌀의 아플라톡신 오염에 대한 모니터링이 필요하다. 또 쌀과 쌀제품 생산의 모든 단계와 저장에서 아플라톡신 관리를 위한 통합적 접근법이 필요하다. 가축을 아플라톡신으로부터 보호하는 전략은 인간집단을 보호할 수 있는 효과적인 접근법이 될 수 있다.

In oder to acquire microbial agents that can be utilized for control of aflatoxin produced by Aspergillus. flavus and Asp. parasiticus, antifungal bacteria were isolated. Antifungal bacteria was identified as Bacillus spp. based on morphology and physico-biochemical characteristics. Amount of aflatoxin $B_1$ from Doenjang(soybean paste) prepared with Asp. flavus, Asp. parasiticus, antifungal bacteria(Bacillus sp.), or mixture of Asp. flavus and Asp. parasiticus was 27.2 ppb, 30.3 ppb, 3.4 ppb, and 3.7 ppb, respectively. Aflatoxin $B_1$ was not detected from Doenjang(control) and Doenjang prepared with antifungal bacteria. Content and compositions of free sugars, fatty acid, organic acid and free amino acid in Doenjang prepared with Asp. flavus and Asp. parasiticus, antifungal bacteria and mixture of Asp. flavus and Asp. parasiticus were not significantly different. For volatile flavor compounds of Doenjang prepared with antifungal bacteria, 2-pentyl furan and butanoic acid were disappeared or reduced, while octadecene compounds were produced. However, those of Doenjang prepared with Asp. flavus or Asp. parasiticus and Doenjang(control) were not significantly different. These results suggested that the antifungal bacteria(Bacillus sp.) inhibited production of aflatoxin and that antifungal bacteria did not effect the quality of Doenjang.

An antifungal bacterium was isolated to inhibit of the growth of Asp. flavus and Asp. parasiticus, and its antifungal compounds were purified from lyophilized culture broth using chromatographic methods. Antifungal bacterium #19 which was shown a higher inhibitory activity on the growth of aflatoxin producing fungi was identified as Bacillus subtilis. The purified antifungal compound(1 mg) was demonstrated strong antifungal activity against the aflatoxin producing fungi.

Aflatoxin M₁ can be produced in cow’s milk when cows eat contaminated produce. Milk is a major source of food for infants and for children who have a weak level of immunity, and the detection of Aflatoxin M₁ for risk assessment is necessary in order to reduce the amount of it in milk. In this study, the Aflatoxin M₁ level was monitored for one year in raw milk samples obtained from Chungnam Province, Korea. The milk samples were divided into three categories: 1. milk samples from a standard general farm, 2. milk samples from a HACCP controlled farm, and 3. milk samples from the supply of Aflatoxin M₁ reduced fodder. The average concentrations of Aflatoxin M₁ in milk were 0.023±0.005 ug/l for the standard general farm, 0.017±0.004 ug/l for the HACCP controlled farm, and 0.013±0.003 ug/l for the supply of Aflatoxin M₁ reduction fodder. Milk collected from the supply of Aflatoxin M₁ reduction fodder had the lowest level of Aflatoxin M₁. However, when efficiency and economic aspects are considered the most effective way of reducting Aflatoxin M₁, could be taking milk from the HACCP controlled farm and implementing good feed management. Institutional support from the government, careful management of dairy farming, and a strict farm sanitation program are required in order to lower the level of Aflatoxin M₁ in milk.

이번 연구는 아플라톡신 $B_1(AFB_2)$의 독성이 오리의 생산성, 체내 기관, 간 효소 활성도, 외관상 소화율, 영양소 소화율에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위한 것이다. 1일령의 육용오리 90마리를 3개의 처리군으로 나눠 10마리씩 펜에서 사육하였다. 그룹1은 일반 사료를 급여하였고, 그룹 2와 3은 각각 아플라톡신 $20{\mu}g/kg$, $40{\mu}g/kg$이 포함된 오염된 쌀을 섞어 6주 동안 급여하였다. 그 결과 아플라톡신에 오염된 사료를 섭취한 그룹의 증체량과 사료 섭취량이 감소하였고, 사료요구률(feed to gain ratio), 간, 신장, 췌장의 무게가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 알라닌 아미노전이효소(ALT, serum alanine aminotransferase)와 혈중 아스파라진산 아미노전이효소(AST, aspartate aminotransferase)의 활성도도 아플라톡신 오염 그룹에서 유의성을 보이며 높았다. 아플라톡신 오염 그룹의 오리들의 십이지장에서 채취한 단백질 분해효소, 키모트립신, 트립신(이자액에서 분비되는 단백질 분해효소), 전분 가수 분해효소 등 소화효소의 활성도가 증가한 반면, 조단백질의 외관상 소화율은 유의성있게 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 이는 아플라톡신에 오염된 사료로가 오리의 생산성과 영양소의 외관상 소화율을 감소시키고 십이지장 내용물의 소화효소활성을 변화시킨다고 볼 수 있다.

The increase in the consumption of herb medicines have made their use a public health problem due to the potential fungal contamination and the risk of the presence of my cot ox ins. 360 samples of herb medicines were evaluated for the aflatoxin contamination. The natural occurrence of aflatoxins in these samples were determined using immunoaffinity column clean up and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with post-column derivatization. For samples analyzed, mean levels (incidence) of AFB1, AFB2, AFG1 and AFG2 in positive samples were $1.4\;{\mu}g/kg$(46.4%), $0.4\;{\mu}g/kg$(25.4%), $1.1\;{\mu}g/kg$(37.8%) and $0.9\;{\mu}g/kg$(24.3%), respectively. Recoveries of the full analytical procedure were 71.7~99.7% for AFB1, 88.1~99.2% for AFB2, 82.8~95.5% for AFG1 and 77.9~90.0% for AFG2. The excess cancer risk estimated using the cancer potency of aflatoxin B1 (7 $(mg/kg/day)^{-1}$ for $HBsAg^-$ and 230 $(mg/kg/day)^{-1}$ for $HBsAg^+$) were $1.30{\times}10^{-5}{\sim}1.22{\times}10^{-7}$ for hepatits B surface antigen negative ($HBsAg^-$) and $3.31{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}3.12{\times}10^{-6}$ for hepatits B surface antigen positive ($HBsAg^+$) respectively. In conclusion, although the contamination levels of samples used in the study were low, further actions are also required to undertake a program of herbal surveys in order to access mycotoxin contamination overall so that the safety of public will be protected.

A survey of aflatoxin $B_1$ and ochratoxin A was conducted on dried red pepper and red pepper powder. Total number of 193 samples were collected from local markets in Incheon. The presence of aflatoxin $B_1$ and ochratoxin A was determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence detector using immunoaffinity column clean-up. The recovery rate of aflatoxin $B_1$ and ochratoxin A were more than 80% and the limits of quantification were 0.13 ${\mu}g/kg$ for aflatoxin $B_1$ and 0.30 ${\mu}g/kg$ for ochratoxin A. Aflatoxin $B_1$ was detected in 33 samples (17.1%) with a range of 0.14~9.67 ${\mu}g/kg$ and ochratoxin A was detected in 40 samples (20.7%) with a range of 0.31~3.31 ${\mu}g/kg$. These results show that the occurrence of aflatoxin $B_1$ and ochratoxin A in dried red pepper and red pepper powder tested in this study is low compared with the standard in Korea Food Code (10 ${\mu}g/kg$ as aflatoxin $B_1$ and 7 ${\mu}g/kg$ as ochratoxin A).
