Abstract: Aflatoxins (AF) are secondary metabolites of Aspergillus species with hightoxicity,and mainly found in milk and dairy products and mouldy cereals.At present,there are a lot of studies on aflatoxin B1 (AFB1),AFB2,AFG1,AFG2,AFM1 and AFM2 among all aflatoxins.The physical and chemical properties of aflatoxins are relatively stable,it is difficult to destroy aflatoxins by heating,and aflatoxins are currently recognised as one of the most toxic carcinogens.Aflatoxins not only cause nutritional problems such as malnutrition and reduced immunity to animals,but also cause great damage to the human liver when entering the body,and the presence of aflatoxins in raw milk causes serious harm to the whole dairy industry chain.Therefore,there is an urgent need to implement selective,sensitive and highly convenient methods for the determination of aflatoxins in milk and dairy products.This paper introduces the research progress of aflatoxins detection methods in milk and dairy products at home and abroad,summarizes the application of mass spectrometry,electrochemistry,spectroscopy,chromatography and test strips in the detection of aflatoxins in milk and dairy products in recent years,summarises the advantages and challenges of the above methods in the detection of aflatoxins in milk and dairy products,and provides an outlook on the future development of aflatoxins detection methods in milk and dairy products.The future development of aflatoxins detection methods in milk and dairy products is also discussed,which may provide some new ideas for the detection of aflatoxins in milk and dairy products.
