Each year (2001-2005), 300 samples of wheat from fields of known agronomy were analysed for ten trichothecenes by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) including deoxynivalenol (DON), nivalenol, 3-acetyl-DON, 15-acetyl-DON, fusarenone X, T2 toxin, HT2 toxin, diacetoxyscirpenol, neosolaniol and T-2 triol and zearalenone by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Of the eleven mycot...

In this work, we studied the impact of harvesting time on Fusarium mycotoxin occurrence in spring wheat and effect contamination quality these grains. The grains (Triticum aestivum L.) were collected 2016–2018 when crop had reached full maturity, 10 ± 2 days 17 3 after maturity. grain samples analyzed for infection co-contamination with mycotoxins deoxynivalenol (DON), zearalenone (ZEA), T-2 to...

A reliable and sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric method was developed for the simultaneous quantitative determination in cereals of the Fusarium mycotoxins HT-2 toxin, T-2 toxin, deoxynivalenol, nivalenol and zearalenone, as well as the modified metabolites 3-acetyl-deoxynivalenol, α-zearalenol, β-zearalenol, deoxynivalenol-3-glucoside, HT-2-3-glucoside, nivalenol-3-gluc...

Mycotoxins can accumulate in raw materials of plant origin at different technological stages its production. Most often, the producers mycotoxins are fungi genera Aspergillus , Fusarium Penicillium and some others. The clinical symptoms mycotoxicoses vary significantly, lethal outcomes possible. For this reason, mycotoxicological study various types feed under production conditions is an indisp...

The effect of rumen microbes on six mycotoxins (aflatoxin B1, ochratoxin A, zearalenone, T-2 toxin, diacetoxyscirpenol, and deoxynivalenol ) considered to be health risks for domestic animals was investigated. The mycotoxins were incubated with intact rumen fluid or fractions of rumen protozoa and bacteria from sheep and cattle in the presence or absence of milled feed. Rumen fluid had no effec...

It was hypothesized that a mycotoxin binder, Grainsure E, would inhibit adverse effects of a mixture of fumonisin B1, deoxynivalenol, and zearalenone in rats. For 14 and 28 days, 8-10 Sprague-Dawley rats were fed control diet, Grainsure E (0.5%), toxins (7 μg fumonisin B1/g, 8 μg of deoxynivalenol/g and 0.2 μg of zearalenone/g), toxins (12 μg of fumonisin B1/g, 9 μg of deoxynivalenol/g, and 0.2...

Mycotoxins are secondary fungal metabolites that may have mutagenic, carcinogenic, cytotoxic and endocrine disrupting effects. These substances frequently contaminate agricultural commodities despite efforts to prevent them, so successful detoxification tools are needed. The application of microorganisms to biodegrade mycotoxins is a novel strategy that shows potential for application in food a...

A different, reliable, and cost-effective strategy for the analysis of aflatoxins, ochratoxin A, zearalenone in corn-based foods was proposed, including one multi-toxin immunoaffinity column (IAC) sample preparation three different high-performance liquid chromatography fluorescence detection methods. The analytical procedures were tested verified, keeping mind their occurrence at trace levels ...

Fusarium oxysporum isolated from roots of and soil around Baccharis species from Brazil produced the trichothecenes T-2 toxin, HT-2 toxin, diacetoxyscirpenol, and 3'-OH T-2 (TC-1), whereas Fusarium sporotrichioides from the same source produced T-2 toxin, HT-2 toxin, acetyl T-2, neosolaniol, TC-1, 3'-OH HT-2 (TC-3), iso-T-2, T-2 triol, T-2 tetraol, and the nontrichothecenes moniliformin and fus...

The mutagenicity of eight Fusarium toxins (mono-, di-, and triacetoxyscirpenol, T-2 toxin, deoxynivalenol, 3-acetyl-deoxynivalenol, zearalenone, and moniliformin) and of two positive controls (aflatoxin B1 and sterigmatocystin) to histidine-requiring strains TA 98, 100, 1535, and 1537 of Salmonella typhimurium was tested both with and without metabolic activation. Both aflatoxin B1 and sterigma...
