Mycoflora and Mycotoxins natural occurrence in corn from entre Rios Province, Argentina

Corn samples were collected in 1999 from three departments of Entre Rios province, Argentina, and were surveyed for mould contamination and natural occurrence of Fusarium mycotoxins, ochratoxin A and aflatoxins. Fusarium verticillioides was the most prevalent fungal species recorded at all departmen...

Fusarium verticillioides was the most prevalent fungal species recorded at all departments. Zearalenone, deoxynivalenol and ochratoxin A were not found in any samples. Only one of the 52 corn samples analysed was contaminated with aflatoxin BI (17 pglkg). Fumonisin BI was found in 58 % of samples (range of positive samples: 47- 3,347 μg/kg), fumonisin B2 in 33.0 % (range of positive samples: 23-537 pg/kg) and fumonisin B3 in 25.0 % (range of positive samples: 24-287 pglkg) of them.
