What is AFLATOXIN M2?

Chemical properties

Off-White to Pale Yellow Solid

Chemical properties

The aflatoxins are a group of molds produced by the fungus Aspergillus flavus. They are natural contaminants of fruits, vegetables, and grains. They are also described as a series of condensed ring heterocyclic compounds. They form colorless to pale yellow crystals. Practically insoluble in water.

The Uses of AFLATOXIN M2

An Aspergillus flavus metabolite. Aflatoxin M2 in milk as a secondary metabolite of the Aflatoxin B2 formed in moldy forages. It is cancerogenic, hepatotoxic, and immunosuppressive in animals and man.

Definition

ChEBI: Aflatoxin M2 is a member of coumarins.

Potential Exposure

Aflatoxins are a group of toxic metabolites produced by certain types of fungi. Aflatoxins are not commercially manufactured; they are naturally occurring contaminants that are formed by fungi on food during conditions of high temperatures and high humidity. Most human exposure to aflatoxins occurs through ingestion of contaminated food. The estimated amount of aflatoxins that Americans consume daily is estimated to be 0.15 0.50 μg. Grains, peanuts, tree nuts, and cottonseed meal are among the more common foods on which these fungi grow. Meat, eggs, milk, and other edible products from animals that consume aflatoxincontaminated feed may also contain aflatoxins. Aflatoxins can also be breathed in
