Fusarium mycotoxins in spring barley and their occurrence within the technological chain barley-malt-beer.

Natural occurrence of Fusarium mycotoxins (trichothecenes and zearalenone) in barley and corn in Korea.

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...

Study on Barley and Malt Polyphenoloxidase. I. Chromatography of Barley, Steeped Barley, and Malt Polyphenoloxidase

A comparative chromatography of polyphenoloxidase isolated from barley, steeped barley, and green malt was made. It consisted ofextraction, precipitation, ion-exchange chromatography, gel filtration, and electrofocusing. Polyphenoloxidase was resolved into a high-molecularweight enzyme and a low-molecular-weight one. The proportion of the two enzymes underwent variations during malting. An incr...

Fungal Hydrophobins in the Barley-to-Beer Chain

J. Inst. Brew. 113(2), 147–153, 2007 Fungal hydrophobins have been shown to induce gushing of beer. In order to study the occurrence and fate of hydrophobins at different stages of the production chain of beer, barley samples artificially infected in the field with Fusarium culmorum, F. graminearum and F. poae were collected during the growing period as well as during various stages of the malt...

Natural Contamination with Mycotoxins Produced by Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium poae in Malting Barley in Argentina

Two of the most common species of toxin-producing Fusarium contaminating small cereal grains are Fusarium graminearum and F. poae; with both elaborating diverse toxins, especially deoxynivalenol (DON) and nivalenol (NIV), respectively. The objective of our work during the 2012-2014 growing seasons was to screen crops for the most commonly isolated Fusarium species and to quantify DON and NIV to...
