Two hundred and fourteen unprocessed corn samples (1997-98 harvest), collected at wholesale markets in different regions in Brazil, were surveyed for the occurrence of mycotoxins. The samples were analysed for aflatoxins B 1 , B 2 , G 1 , G 2 , zearalenone and fumoni1sin B 1 using in-house validated methods. The occurrence of aflatoxin B 1 , zearalenone and fumonisin B 1 was found in 38.3, 30.4 and 99.1% of the samples, respectively. Aflatoxin B 1 , zearalenone and fumonisin B 1 contamination levels varied from 0.2 to 129, 36.8 to 719, and 200 to 6100 μg/kg, respectively. The cooccurrence of the two carcinogenic mycotoxins aflatoxin B 1 and fumonisin B 1 was observed in 100% of the aflatoxin-contaminated samples (82 samples). Cooccurrences of aflatoxin B 1 : zearalenone: fumonisin B 1 and aflatoxin B 1 : aflatoxin B 2 : fumonisin B 1 were found in 18 and 43 samples, respectively. |
