“…This probably provides a rationale on why only a few studies of AFs occurrence were conducted in Serbia prior to 2012. Furthermore, those studies have shown no or a low amount of AFs in various food and feed commodities [29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38]. However, in 2012 Serbia had prolonged drought during spring and summer which might have contributed to the high contamination frequency and concentration of AFs in maize and consequently in milk and dairy products.…”

“…Among the products analysed in 2012 and in prior years, AFs were most frequently found in maize and maize-based products. Maize and maize-based products samples analysed prior to 2012 had an AFs prevalence of 9.7% ( n = 351) with none of the samples exceeding the EU MRL [30,31,32,36,37,38]. The samples analysed in 2012 had an AFs prevalence of 49.9% ( n = 724), with 33% of the samples exceeding the EU MRL and with the mean values ranging from 18.15 µg kg –1 to 36.3 µg kg −1 [37,41,42,43,44].…”

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.

“…Wheat (30), barley (20), oats (20), maize (40) and rye (20) samples were collected immediately after the harvest 2012 from the main cereals growing areas in Serbia. Sampling was performed according to EU requirements (European Commission, 2006a) in order to overcome uneven mycotoxins distribution among the crops and kernels.…”

Aflatoxins (AFs), one of the most toxic and the strongest natural carcinogens can be found in a variety of food commodities, including cereals. For that purpose, the aim of this study was to investigate occurrence of AFs (AFB1, AFG1, AFB2 and AFG2) in 130 cereal samples. (60%) were contaminated in the following way: 6 (25%) samples had AFs concentration between 1 and 10 µg/kg, 14 (58%) samples between 10 and 50 µg/kg and 4 (17%) between 50 and 70.3 µg/kg. The most predominant aflatoxin was AFB1 which was detected in all contaminated maize samples. AFG1, AFB2 and AFG2 were found in 12, 5 and 1 sample, respectively. This study represents the first investigation of the occurrence of AFs in five different cereals from Serbia.

“…3,4 Since AFs mainly occur in tropical and subtropical regions where temperature and humidity are favorable for the growth of Aspergillus species and production of the toxins, 5 the greatest numbers of published studies regarding AFs occurrence are from Mediterranean and Middle East regions. 6 Even though environmental conditions in Serbia in previous decade were not favorable for Aspergillus growth and AFs production, 7,8 changes in weather conditions in Serbia during year 2012 had a great influence on the occurrence of AFs in maize 9,10 and AFM1 in milk samples. 11 Determined concentrations of AFM1 in milk samples was very high and risk assessment analysis showed that all age categories, especially children, are exposed with high risk related to presence of AFM1 in milk.…”

Presence of aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) in milk should be continuously controlled in order to protect the population from risks associated with its proven toxicity and carcinogenicity. During recent years, there has been an increase in demand for development of sensitive, accurate, simple and fast method which is reliable for detection of AFM1 at low concentrations found in milk samples. For that purpose, enzyme linked immunosorbent asssay (ELISA), high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detector (HPLC-FLD) and high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) were optimized and validated in order to apply them for AFM1 analysis in naturally contaminated milk samples, and to assess the closeness of agreement between results of three different methods. The obtained validation parameters indicate that all three methods are suitable for determination of AFM1 in milk samples. The statistical analysis of variance between the methods and the obtained correlation coefficients indicate that there is a strong correlation between methods. All three methods are satisfactory in meeting the requirements for official control purposes. To the best of author's knowledge, this study represents the first report of an investigation and comparison of ELISA, HPLC-FLD and HPLC-MS/MS methods for determination of AFM1 in naturally contaminated milk samples.
