“…The cyclonic front also affected southeast Europe (Serbia, Romania and Bulgaria), with heavy precipitation and floods ( Figure 1 and Figure 3 ) [ 21 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ]. The cyclone affected several regions of the European continent, but deoxynivalenol contamination was reported only in durum wheat in northern Italy, wheat, maize and cereals in the Czech Republic, maize in Switzerland, wheat in Hungary, winter wheat and triticale in northwestern Romania, and animal feed across Europe ( Table 1 , Tables S.2.1, S.2.4 and S.3.9 ; Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figures S.1.2, S.2.1 and S.4 ) [ 71 , 74 , 77 , 79 , 80 , 83 , 84 , 85 ]. As in the previous year, the 2013 spring, with extreme precipitation and floods, was followed by summer with heat waves and severe drought (Figure S.1.3) [ 40 , 41 ].…”

“…Other European countries, including Italy, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Lithuania, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania and Serbia, reported contamination with deoxynivalenol and other mycotoxins in maize, winter wheat, durum wheat, barley, soybean and spelt especially in extremely rainy 2014. Romania reported deoxynivalenol in winter wheat, durum wheat and rye crops [ 12 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 , 75 , 76 , 77 , 78 , 79 , 80 , 81 , 82 , 83 ]. The European and non-European countries that registered the deoxynivalenol-maize outbreak requested a derogation from the maximum allowed limit and received approval from the European Commission [ 6 , 66 ].…”

This article aims to evaluate deoxynivalenol occurrence in triticale crops in Romania in years with extreme weather events (2012: Siberian anticyclone with cold waves and heavy snowfall; 2013 and 2014: “Vb” cyclones with heavy precipitation and floods in spring). The deoxynivalenol level in triticale samples (N = 236) was quantified by ELISA. In Romania, the extreme weather events favoured deoxynivalenol occurrence in triticale in Transylvania and the southern hilly area (44–47°N, 22–25°E) with a humid/balanced-humid temperate continental climate, luvisols and high/very high risk of floods. Maximum deoxynivalenol contamination was lower in the other regions, although heavy precipitation in May–July 2014 was higher, with chernozems having higher aridity. Multivariate analysis of the factors influencing deoxynivalenol occurrence in triticale showed at least a significant correlation for all components of variation source (agricultural year, agricultural region, average of deoxynivalenol, average air temperature, cumulative precipitation, soil moisture reserve, aridity indices) (p-value < 0.05). The spatial and geographic distribution of deoxynivalenol in cereals in the countries affected by the 2012–2014 extreme weather events revealed a higher contamination in Central Europe compared to southeastern and eastern Europe. Deoxynivalenol occurrence in cereals was favoured by local and regional agroclimatic factors and was amplified by extreme weather events.

“…Most lately, Xu et al ( 2018 ) from North China Plain have detected as high as 95.7% of maize germ contamination with DON and measured average attendance of DON in processed products of maize germs as 163.7–1175.2 μg/kg. In Hungary, Tima et al ( 2018 ) have surveyed the occurrence of DON in maize, wheat and its by-products during the period 2008–2015 and noticed overall mean of 2,159 ± 2,818 μg/kg, which was annoyingly much higher than maximum allowed limit. Besides, Mallmann et al ( 2017 ) have summarized the occurrence of DON and ZEA in barley and wheat grains of Southern Brazil during the middle of 2008–2015 and noticed 67% of DON and 41% of ZEA contamination.…”

Combinational Inhibitory Action of Hedychium spicatum L. Essential Oil and γ-Radiation on Growth Rate and Mycotoxins Content of Fusarium graminearum in Maize: Response Surface Methodology

et al. 2018

Nowadays, contamination of agricultural commodities with fungi and their mycotoxins is one of the most annoying with regard to food safety and pose serious health risk. Therefore, there is a requisite to propose suitable mitigation strategies to reduce the contamination of fungi and mycotoxins in agricultural commodities. In the present study, combinational inhibitory effect of Hedychium spicatum L. essential oil (HSEO) and radiation was established on growth rate, production of deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZEA) by Fusarium graminearum in maize grains. The HSEO was obtained from rhizomes by hydrodistillation technique and chemical composition was revealed by GC-MS analysis. A total of 48 compounds were identified and major compounds were 1,8-cineole (23.15%), linalool (12.82%), and β-pinene (10.06%). The discrete treatments of HSEO and radiation were effective in reducing the fungal growth rate and mycotoxins content, and the complete reduction was noticed at 3.15 mg/g of HSEO and 6 kGy of radiation. Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to evaluate the combinational inhibitory effect of HSEO and radiation treatments on fungal growth rate and mycotoxins content. A total of 13 experiments were designed with distinct doses of HSEO and radiation by central composite design (CCD) of Stat-Ease Design-Expert software. In combinational approach, complete reductions of fungal growth, DON, and ZEA content were noticed at 1.89 mg/g of HSEO and 4.12 kGy of radiation treatments. The optimized design concluded that combinational treatments of HSEO and radiation were much more effective in reducing the fungal growth and mycotoxins content compared to their discrete treatments (p < 0.05). Responses of the design were assessed by second-order polynomial regression analysis and found that quadratic model was well fitted. The optimized design has larger F-value and adequate precision, smaller p-value, decent regression coefficients (R2) and found statistically significant (p < 0.05). In addition, correlation matrix, normal plot residuals, Box-Cox, and actual vs. predicted plots were endorsed that optimized design was accurate and appropriate. The proposed combinational decontamination technique could be highly applicable in agriculture and food industry to safeguard the food and feed products from fungi and mycotoxins.

“…Young et al [8] found that grain processed into pet food still contained DON. Therefore, DON pollution poses a great threat to human and livestock health and has attracted the attention of countries around the world [9]. At present, pollution poses a great threat to human and livestock health and has attracted the attention of countries around the world [9].…”

This study was conducted to develop a self-assembled direct competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (dcELISA) kit for the detection of deoxynivalenol (DON) in food and feed grains. Based on the preparation of anti-DON monoclonal antibodies, we established a standard curve with dcELISA and optimized the detection conditions. The performance of the kit was evaluated by comparison with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The minimum detection limit of DON with the kit was 0.62 ng/mL, the linear range was from 1.0 to 113.24 ng/mL and the half-maximal inhibition concentration (IC 50 ) was 6.61 ng/mL in the working buffer; there was a limit of detection (LOD) of 62 ng/g, and the detection range was from 100 to 11324 ng/g in authentic agricultural samples. We examined four samples of wheat bran, wheat flour, corn flour and corn for DON recovery. The average recovery was in the range of 77.1% to 107.0%, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) ranged from 4.2% to 11.9%. In addition, the kit has the advantages of high specificity, good stability, a long effective life and negligible sample matrix interference. Finally, wheat samples from farms in the six provinces of Henan, Anhui, Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu and Gansu in China were analyzed by the kit. A total of 30 samples were randomly checked (five samples in each province), and the results were in good agreement with the standardized HPLC method. These tests showed that the dcELISA kit had good performance and met relevant technical requirements, and it had the characteristics of accuracy, reliability, convenience and high-throughput screening for DON detection. Therefore, the developed kit is suitable for rapid screening of DON in marketed products.
