“…Tanaka, Yamamoto, Hasegawa, Aoki, and Besling (1990) reported on contamination of 90% and 62% samples of cereals with DON and ZEA, with their average concentrations for positive samples of 221 mg/kg and 61 mg/kg, respectively. In Poland, extremely high values (up to 927 mg/kg) of DON were recorded for maize grain (Placinta, D'Mello, & Macdonald, 1999).…”

“…Above all, they are typical splashborne pathogens (Sutton, 1982). (Besling et al, 1983;Besling, 1985;Tanaka et al, 1990). Samples from Austria, Hungary and Poland were also analyzed for 3-ADON, but none was detected (Ueno et al, 1985).…”

SummaryAn infection of bread wheat by fusarium head blight contaminates the crop with mycotoxins, particularly deoxynivalenol (DON) and nivalenol (N1V). The toxicity and natural occurrence of these mycotoxins in wheat are reviewed. Based on 8 years data of fusarium head blight epidemics of wheat in the Netherlands, DON contamination of the grain was estimated. Fusarium head blight ratings averaged an infection of 1.7% of all spikelets; estimates for DON contamination averaged 0.9 mg kg -1. Taking a guideline level for DON in uncleaned bread wheat of 2 mg kg -I , in 1979 and 1982 a wheat crop was produced with estimated DON concentrations above the limit of tolerance. Human and animal exposure to mycotoxins in the Netherlands appears to be small but chronic. The information presented in this paper illustrates the need for an annual evaluation of the crop for fusarium head blight incidence and mycotoxin content, and the necessity of fusarium head blight resistant wheat cultivars.

“…5,6) Co-contamination of Fusarium mycotoxins (TRs and ZEN) occurs worldwide in agricultural commodities and consumption of these has caused several outbreaks of intoxication in human and animal populations. [7][8][9][10][11][12] With the development of highly sensitive and simultaneous analytical methods, many reports regarding the co-contamination of Fusarium mycotoxins in processed cereal foods have been reported in Europe and North America, [13][14][15] but relatively little work is available for Asian countries despite these depending heavily on imported wheat and wheat-derived products. Thus, an accurate determination of processed food contaminated with these toxins is an urgent need for C 2010 The Pharmaceutical Society of Japan food supply.…”
