“…The identified species of Fusarium were F. proliferatum, F. subglutinans, F. graminearum, and F. verticillioides. Furthermore, according to the findings of Tančić Živanov et al [34] in a recent study, 11 species of Fusarium were found in the grains of two different commercial maize varieties that were cultivated in Serbia. Among these species, F. graminearum, F. verticilioides, and F. graminearum were the most commonly identified.…”

Moniliformin (MON) represents one of the most widespread emerging mycotoxins, whose presence in food and feed can potentially cause harmful effects on the health of both the public and animals. In order to investigate MON occurrence, a total of four hundred (n = 400) samples of unprocessed maize were sampled from different regions (Bačka, Banat, and Srem) of Serbia during a period of four years (2018–2021) and were analyzed using a validated liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method. The influence of regional differences and variations from year to year in terms of weather conditions on the occurrence of MON was also assessed. The obtained validation parameters indicated that the LC-MS/MS method is applicable to the determination of MON in maize samples. It can be observed from the acquired findings that all samples were contaminated with MON, while concentration levels varied between the samples, especially from different sampling years. The maize samples showed the greatest levels of MON concentration during the dry and hot climatic conditions experienced in 2021. In maize samples harvested in the period 2018–2020, the MON concentration levels detected were about two to three times lower compared to the year 2021. Additionally, a comprehensive investigation into the correlation between weather conditions and the occurrence of MON in maize grown in Serbia was undertaken by reviewing the outcomes of research undertaken in the past decade.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of total aflatoxins (AFs) and type-B fumonisins (FBs) in 65 maize grain samples collected during harvest in 2018 (13 samples), 2019 (11 samples), 2020 (9 samples), 2021 (14 samples) and 2022 (18 samples) from different locations in suburb of Belgrade (Republic of Serbia). The average levels of AFs and FBs in mycotoxin-positive samples were 5.43 and 2910 ?g kg-1 (2018), 5.28 and 2710 ?g kg-1 (2019), 2.35 and 10980 ?g kg-1 (2020), 6.81 and 4950 ?g kg-1 (2021) and 5.32 and 20310 ?g kg-1 (2022), respectively. In 23.08% (2018), 18.18% (2019), 22.22% (2020), 64.29% (2021) and 27.78% (2022) of maize samples, the co-occurrence of AFs and FBs was established. The maximum limits of 10 ?g kg-1 for AFs in maize and 4000 ?g kg-1 for FBs in unprocessed maize prescribed by regulations of Serbia and the European Union were exceeded for AFs in 14.29% (2021) and 5.56% (2022) of maize samples and for FBs in 7.69% (2018), 66.67% (2020), 28.57% (2021) and 41.67% (2022) of maize samples. Multiple linear regression analyses showed a statistically significant influence of climate factors (air temperature, relative humidity and total rainfall) in July-September (2018-2022) on FBs levels. These results indicate the need for continuous monitoring of the health status of harvested maize grains and risk assessment of the potential presence of mycotoxins in the food chain to avoid adverse effects on human and animal health.
