Determination of trichothecenes, zearalenone and zearalenols in commercially available corn-based foods in Spain.

چکیده
Among the main Spanish commercially available trademarks, we have selected a total of 25 samples of corn-based foods, which have the highest consume rate, to carry out the analysis of deoxynivalenol (DON), T-2 toxin, zearalenone (ZEA) and zearalenols (ZOL). The contents of mycotoxins were determined by gas chromatography with flame ionization detection, and those of ZEA were confirmed by HPLC with fluorescence detection. Of the 25 analyzed samples, the incidence of DON, ZEA and alfa-ZOL was 68, 44 and 24%, respectively; levels detected ranged from 29-195, 34-216, and 36-71 microg/kg, respectively. T-2 toxin was only detected in one sample (<50 microg/kg). Beta-ZOL was not present in excess of the detection limit in the investigated samples. The results suggest a risk for consumers of corn products and the need to monitor the final products before consumption. This is the first report in Spain on natural contamination with these mycotoxins in corn-based foods.

Zearalenone (ZEA) mycotoxin is a potent estrogenic metabolite. It is the primary toxin causing infertility, abortion or other breeding problems. A HPLC method was validated for ZEA in foods using a monolithic column with sample clean-up on an immunoaffinity column. A certified reference material (CRM) from FAPAS (UK) was analyzed. A survey of ZEA was performed on the 72 samples of rice, bread, ...

Fusarium graminearum species complex (FGSC) causes Fusarium head blight in small grain cereals. To date, four species (F. graminearum, F. asiaticum, F. boothii, and F. meridionale ) belonging to FGSC frequently occur in Korean cereals. In addition, we first reported the occurrence of additional species (F. vorosii ) within FGSC, which was isolated from barley, corn, and rice in Korea. Phylogene...

Barley is produced in four provinces, Chonbuk, Chonnam, Kyungbuk, and Kyungnam, and corn is mainly produced in the Kangwon province in Korea. The natural occurrence of Fusarium mycotoxins was surveyed in 39 barley and 46 corn samples from different areas. Five 8-ketotrichothecenes, namely deoxynivalenol (DON), nivalenol (NIV), 4-acetylnivalenol (4-ANIV), 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol (3-ADON), and 4,1...
