Fumonisin occurrence in naturally contaminated wheat grain harvested in Argentina

چکیده
A survey was carried out to determine fumonisin contamination in 135 common and 40 durum wheat samples collected during 2011 harvest season (non-FHB epidemic year) in the main wheat production area of Argentina using LCeMS/MS. A 93% of total samples showed fumonisin contamination, with levels ranging from 0.16 to 680.44 ng/g in common and from 0.15 to 1304.39 ng/g in durum wheat samples, respectively. FB1 was the fumonisin most frequently found during the evaluated year. Twenty five wheat samples (15 common and 10 durum) were selected for a deoxynivalenol (DON) analysis among all the samples analyzed for fumonisin content using different contamination levels as selection criteria. DON contamination was present in 24 out of 25 wheat samples, the levels ranging from 50.60 to 28650 ng/g. Nine out of 25 wheat samples reached values higher than 1000 ng/g. However there was no correlation between fumonisin and DON contamination. This is the first report of natural fumonisin presence in common wheat grains in Argentina, as well as of DON co-occurrence in both types of wheat. 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Occurrence of Fusarium spp. and Fumonisins in Stored Wheat Grains Marketed in Iran
Wheat grains are well known to be invaded by Fusarium spp. under field and storage conditions and contaminated with fumonisins. Therefore, determining Fusarium spp. and fumonisins in wheat grains is of prime importance to develop suitable management strategies and to minimize risk. Eighty-two stored wheat samples produced in Iran were collected from various supermarkets and tested for the prese...

BACKGROUND The goal of this study has been to evaluate the extent of mycotoxins contamination and their co-occurrence in wheat grain intended for animal feed. A total of 52 wheat samples were collected from the harvest of two consecutive years (2010, 2011) from two counties (Timis and Arad) located in Western Romania and the presence of ochratoxin A (OTA), deoxynivalenol (DON), zearalenone (ZON...
