A total of 80 random samples of cattle edible by- products represented by 20 each of tongue, lung, liver and small intestine half of them were fresh and the other half were cooked, were collected from different butcher shops, vendors and shops of ready to eat edible animal by- products (Mas- mat) in Giza governorate. The samples were analyzed for presence of aflatoxins residues. The obtained results indicated that 4(40%); 2(20%); 3 (30%) and 4(40%) of fresh samples and 5(50%); 3(30%); 1 (10%) and 2(20%) of cooked samples of tongue, lung, liver, and small intestine respectively, were contaminated with aflatoxins. The highest mean value was estimated in cooked lung samples (aflatoxin B, 6.240+ 5.194 ppb), while the lowest mean value was determined in fresh tongue (aflatoxin B, 1.573±0.635 ppb). | ||||
