“…In spelt flours, the maximum tolerated contamination is 750 µg/kg. In our study, there are no significant difference in the DON contamination level in both flour types (Schollenberger et al 2002;González-Osnayaa et al 2011;Wiwart et al 2011). The most contaminated products are whole-grains, like bran.…”

“…The tolerated DON daily intake is 1 µg per 1 kg of body weight per day according to EU determinations (Hussein and Brasel 2001 Wiwart et al (2009) indicated that the average concentration of DON is up to 486.50 µg/kg in spelt kernels and up to 1,508.55 µg/kg on husks. Other authors consistently found lower contamination levels of DON in spelt (Castoria et al 2005;Wiwart et al 2011). Solarska et al (2009) found 169.37 µg/kg as the average concentration of deoxynivalenol in ancient wheats.…”

Mycotoxins have a proven toxic effect on the health of humans and animals. Nowadays, there is a focus on having a healthy lifestyle and consuming organic foods. High quality grain products, especially spelt products, which are an important element of a well-balanced diet have become more popular. The aim of this study was to determine the mycotoxin content in spelt products available on the Polish market. Spelt products were collected in 2009 and 2010 in eastern Poland. The Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA) method was used to identify aflatoxins, ochratoxin A, T-2 toxin, deoxynivalenol, and zearalenone. The study confirmed that all investigated mycotoxins were present in spelt products.

“…This wheat species has been also known for the high resistance to unsupportive environmental factors. Due to a higher stalk and hard adherent husks, spelt has poor fungal infestation in comparison with common wheat (T. aestivum L.) and nowadays is grown mostly by organic methods [33].…”

The effect of Fusarium spp. contamination on baking quality of winter common wheat and spelt wheat from different growing systems (organic and conventional) was evaluated by the standard technological quality characteristics and by the rheological system Mixolab. The content of Fusarium spp. mycotoxins [deoxynivalenol (DON), deoxynivalenol-3-β-d-glucoside (D3G), 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol (3-ADON), and Zearalenones (ZON)] was determined too. Significantly worse standard technological quality parameters and rheological parameters were determined for artificially inoculated variants of both evaluated wheat species. Statistically significant negative correlation coefficients were discovered between content of mycotoxins and many of technological characteristics, for example, DON content and Zeleny sedimentation for common wheat and spelt (−0.60*; −0.66*) and also between DON content and volume weight (−0.63*; −0.95**) for both wheat species. Resulted Mixolab parameters confirmed that Fusarium spp. infection worsens both protein and starch characteristics for both wheat species. However, effect of Fusarium spp. contamination in spelt wheat was generally less pronounced in comparison with common wheat. Despite of visible shifts of Mixolab curves of samples from organic and conventional growing systems, resulted Mixolab characteristics were statistically comparable.

“…Sacc (Parry et al 1995). In Eastern Europe, F. culmorum is the main causal agent of FHB (Jackowiak et al 2005;Wiwart et al 2011). In some years the predominant fungal pathogen on wheat grain is Fusarium poae (Peck) Wollenw.…”

“…Reducing mycotoxin contamination of winter wheat grain below the maximum permissible levels in an important consideration, especially in organic wheat production where the use of fungicides is limited. Previous research has focused on breeding of wheat cultivars of different species with increased resistance to fungal infections (Wiwart et al 2011), whereas very few studies have focused on possibility of using yeasts for biological control of Fusarium diseases (Zhang et al 2007). The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of A. pullulans in reducing the severity of winter wheat spikes infection caused by F. culmorum, and to analyze the interactions between A. pullulans and F. culmorum on winter wheat grain.…”

The effect of the biological control agent Aureobasidium pullulans (de Bary) G. Arnaud on the development of Fusarium head blight (FHB) on winter wheat and kernel contamination with fungi of the genera Fusarium, Acremonium, Cladosporium and Penicillium was analyzed in a greenhouse experiment. Scanning electron microscopy was used to evaluate the distribution of A. pullulans cells and aggregates on wheat kernels, infection structures of Fusarium culmorum (W.G. Smith) Sacc and the antagonist-pathogen interactions. Biological control with A. pullulans reduced FHB severity by 21.67 % and improved grain filling by 5.02 %, compared with the control treatment. The survival of A. pullulans was good (to 31 cells per kernel), in particular on the surface and in the crease of kernels, including in pathogen-inoculated wheat plants. A. pullulans cells firmly adhered to F. culmorum hyphae, and damaged them. In most cases, autochthonous communities of filamentous fungi of the genera Acremonium and Penicillium developed at a slower rate after kernel inoculation with the pathogen.
