“…In crops, they can be formed before harvesting, during harvest, drying, and storage in non-appropriate conditions [ 3 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ]. They are mainly produced by the species Aspergillus , Penicillium , Alternaria , Claviceps , and Fusarium [ 3 , 9 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. Fusarium species are probably the most dominant toxin-producing fungi in the temperate regions of the Northern hemisphere, responsible for Fusarium head blight disease in small grain cereals and ear rot disease in maize that may cause severe reductions in crop yield [ 4 , 14 , 16 , 17 ].…”

Incidence of Fusarium Mycotoxins in Wheat and Maize from Albania

et al. 2020

In this study, ten Fusarium toxins were analysed in wheat and maize commodities from Albania. In total, 71 samples of wheat and 45 samples of maize were collected from different producing regions. The analytical procedure consisted of a simple one-step sample extraction followed by the determination of toxins using liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. Fusarium toxins were found in 23% of the analysed wheat samples and in 78% of maize samples. In maize samples, most often fumonisins B1 (FB1) and B2 (FB2) were found. They were present in 76% of samples. They were detected in all positive samples except in one with concentrations ranging from 59.9 to 16,970 μg/kg. The sum of FB1 and FB2 exceeded the EU maximum permitted level (4000 μg/kg) in 31% of maize samples. In wheat samples, the only detected Fusarium mycotoxin was deoxynivalenol (DON), present in 23% of samples. In one sample with the concentration of 1916 μg/kg, the EU maximum permitted level (1250 μg/kg) was exceeded. This is the first report on the presence of Fusarium toxins in wheat and maize grains cultivated in Albania.
