According to , using UV radiation, especially at low levels, does not have a major detrimental influence on milk and dairy products. But UV-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide radicals, hydrogen peroxide, and hydroxyl radicals, on the other hand, are involved in certain critical cellular functions such as gene transcription, signaling propagation, and immunological response . Excessive aggregation of these ROS causes oxidative damage to biomolecules including lipids and proteins, as well as cellular injury by interfering with the apoptotic pathway . Apoptosis is a programmed cell death that allows multi-cell organisms to regulate the cellular process of self-destruction achieved by cell signaling cascade . It is widely known that mycotoxins exert their cytotoxicity by inducing cellular apoptosis and WM is an important source of aflatoxins in the human food chain . Proteins of the B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) family play a pivotal role in the apoptosis pathway . The BCL-2 associated death promoter, BAD is a member of BCL-2 family that specially regulates proapoptotic activity via its phosphorylation . On the other hand, p53 is a tumor suppressor gene that plays an important role in DNA repair . For this reason, variations in p53 can be related to carcinogenicity and mutagenicity.
