Nitrofuran metabolite 3-amino-2-oxazolidinone residues in chicken liver: a screening study.

摘要

Chicken livers obtained from local markets in the Bursa province of Turkey were screened for residues of the nitrofuran metabolite 3-amino-2-oxazolidinone (AOZ) using an ELISA. Results demonstrate that AOZ residues were present in 11 of 90 chicken liver samples (12.2% of samples). The level of AOZ in chicken livers ranged from 103.8 to 1027.8 ng/kg, having a mean of 212.2 ng/kg.
