“…However, the best comparison can be made when comparing results from neighbouring countries with similar climate and within the similar period investigated. Total AFB1 prevalence in maize and maize-based feed for the 2009–2013 period in Croatia was 31.4% ( n = 972) with 21.7% of samples exceeding EU MRL [56]. In the maize samples from 2012, AFB1 was detected in 38.1% ( n = 633) of samples, with 28.8% of the samples containing AFB1 at levels higher than the EU MRL.…”

With an average annual production of 6.9 M tonnes and 2.5 M tonnes of maize and wheat respectively, Serbia is one of the main grain producers and exporters in Europe. Cereals are also the major staple food in Serbian diet. In view of the high cereal consumption, for human and animal nutrition, the presence of mycotoxins entails a high public health risk of chronic exposure to mycotoxins. This study provides an overview of the incidence of predominant mycotoxins, mainly in cereal and dairy products, in Serbia, in the 2004–2016, using data reported in the scientific literature. The study demonstrated that the total prevalence of aflatoxins was 62.9% (n = 12,517) with 26.2% of the samples exceeding the EU limits during this period. Results obtained for T-2/HT-2 (n = 523), deoxynivalenol (n = 2907), fumonisins (n = 998), zearalenone (n = 689) and ochratoxin A (n = 740) indicated the prevalence of 45.5%, 42.9%, 63.3%, 39.3% and 28.1%, respectively. For these mycotoxins, the EU limits were less frequently exceeded. Comprehensive collection and analysis of all accessible information reviewed in this paper showed moderate incidence and prevalence of mycotoxins in Serbia, with an exception of the 2012 drought year and the 2014 flood year.

“…Thus, as a result of the aforementioned weather conditions in the year 2012, in the samples of corn grown in that year on the fi elds in Serbia, the afl atoxin B1 values exceeded the prescribed maximum permissible concentrations (Kos et al, 2013;Spirić et al, 2015). We also fi nd papers that report on the contamination of corn and compound feed for cattle with afl atoxin B1 produced in the Republic of Croatia, which was also in 2012, and consequently on the contamination of milk from dairy farms Bilandžić et al, 2014;Pleadin et al, 2015). Contaminated samples of cereals and cereal products, a total of 5 in the observed period from 2011 to 2017, were registered in 2013, but the samples referred to the cereals produced in 2012.…”

Mycotoxins are nowadays one of the most known and most frequent chemical food contaminants.Among the listed mycotoxins, afl atoxins are the most important group of mycotoxins in terms of impact on human and animal health. Of the known mycotoxins, afl atoxin B1 is considered the most toxic. The main sources of afl atoxins are cereals, oilseeds, nuts, dried fruit, and spices. The most commonly used screening method for the detection of mycotoxins is the immunoenzyme (ELISA) method. The purpose of this paper is to show the types of foodstuffs and the results of sample analyses of afl atoxin B1 in these foodstuffs carried out at the Institute of Public Health of the Republic of Srpska -Regional Center Doboj in the period from 2011 to 2017, and to propose measures for improvement of supervision in this area, i.e. to recommend certain measures in order to prevent the occurrence of afl atoxins in foodstuffs.

The aim of this article is to investigate the impact of casing damaging on the formation of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) during the ripening of dry-fermented meat sausages. The level of AFB1 contamination was determined in 24 samples using the ELISA immunoassay throughout a six-month production period. While with intact casing samples no contamination was observed throughout the whole production process, in damaged casing samples AFB1 was detected in the ripening end-stages in the range of 1.62-4.49 μg/kg. The results showed that casing damaging occurring during long-term ripening of dry-fermented sausages can cause AFB1 contamination, possibly arising on the grounds of diffusion of this mycotoxin from the product surface to its interior.
