(14%), Sen.
Fifty random samples of imported infant's milk powder obtained from different pharmacies at Assiut Governorate were analyzed for aflatoxigenic molds and aflatoxins. Out of 50 samples tested 28(56%) samples were positive for Aspergillus species, comporising Aspergillus flavus (8%), Asp < /em>ergillus parasiticus (4%), Asp < /em>ergillus niger (10%), Asp < /em>ergillus terreus (14%), Ssp < /em>ergillus versicolor (12%) and Aspergillus fumigatus (8%). Analysis of media extract of Asp < /em>ergillus flavus and Asp < /em>ergillus parasiticus isolets for aflatoxins production revealed that 33.3% of these species were aflatoxins B1 and G1 producer in levels of 10, 45 ppb for B1 and 6.1, 11.2 ppb for G1. On the other hand, screening of 50 milk powder samples for aflatoxins, two samples were positive, one sample for aflatoxin B1 (0.9 ppb) and the other for Mi (1.7 ppb). Suggestive measures for improving the quality of the product are discussed.
