“…In 2014, extremely rainy conditions recorded during the maize growing season were unfavourable for the growth of some Aspergillus species and for aflatoxin synthesis. Although, AFB1 was detected in maize in 2015 with a high prevalence (90%), the mean concentration of AFB1 (8 μg kg⁻ 1 ) was significantly lower than the mean concentration (44 μg kg⁻ 1 ) detected in maize from 2012 (Kos et al, 2020).…”

“…OTA was the most predominant in maize (25% of maize contained this mycotoxin) from 2012. In this context, weather conditions that occurred in the four-year period had a significant influence on the occurrence of the examined mycotoxins in maize (Kos et al, 2020). Also, a similar feed survey performed during the same four-year period (2012-2015) highlighted the problem of high levels of co-contamination with a number of different mycotoxin-producing species (Krnjaja et al, 2017).…”

“…During the vegetation period (April-September) in 2014, an average of 700 mm (400-1200 mm) of rain was recorded in Serbia, which was the worst season in the last 45 years. This consequently induced a high average moisture content in harvested maize and wheat kernels (>12% w/w), followed by co-occurrence of multiple mycotoxin-producing moulds in cereals, mainly Fusarium and Penicillium (Jajic et al, 2017;Kos et al, 2020). Recently, a report on the occurrence of mycotoxins in maize harvested in Northern Serbia in the period that included seasons with extreme drought (2012), hot and dry conditions (2013 and 2015) and extreme precipitation (2014) revealed significant differences in the incidences of AF, OTA, ZEA and FUM in the different investigation years (Kos et al, 2020).…”

“…Various investigations conducted in Serbia in the last decade have revealed a significant presence of aflatoxins in maize (Kos et al, 2017;Udovicki et al, 2018). The most recent research from the same authors (Kos et al, 2020) was conducted to evaluate the incidence of the mycotoxins aflatoxin, ZEN, OTA, DON and their metabolites in maize between 2012 and 2015. This study confirmed that conditions of extreme drought in 2012 had a great influence on the presence of AFB1 (94% of maize was contaminated).…”

Mycotoxins are chemical hazards of microbiological origin, produced mainly by filamentous fungi during their secondary metabolism. The role of mycotoxins has been recognized in the aetiology of a number of diseases, particularly cancers that belong to non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The NCDs have a leading and growing contribution to preventable deaths and disability across the globe. The NCDs are known as chronic diseases, tend to be of long duration and are the result of a combination of genetic, physiological, environmental and behavioural factors. Following the increased interest in health effects caused by synergisms between natural and synthetic contaminants along the food chain, mycotoxin contamination will continue to be an area of concern for producers, manufacturers, regulatory agencies, researchers and consumers in the future. Considering that their presence in food depends strongly on climatic conditions, in Serbia, recent drought and then flooding confirmed that mycotoxins are one of the foodborne hazards most susceptible to climate change. In this article, we review key aspects of mycotoxin contamination of the food supply chain and attempt to highlight the latest trends and projections for mycotoxin reduction from a Serbian perspective.

“…Modern research has confirmed that ZEN has typical immunotoxicity, genotoxicity, and reproductive toxicity, which seriously threatens people's health [5][6][7]. As a result, many countries and organizations have stipulated the maximum residue limits (MRLs) for ZEN in cereals (the United States: 20-100 µg kg −1 for cereals [8]; European Union: 350 µg kg −1 in raw maize products [9]; China: 60 µg kg −1 in cereals and cereals products [10]). Therefore, the development of effective methods for ZEN detection in various foods is of great significance for protecting the health of people.…”

This paper describes the development of lateral flow immunochromatographic assays (ICAs) using colloidal Au sphere (SP) and nanorods (NRs) as signal markers for the determination of zearalenone (ZEN) in cereals. The developed ICAs can detect the analyte ZEN within a short time (10 min), and achieve lower limit of detection (LOD). This is the first time that the AuNRs are used as signal probe in immune test strip for ZEN detection. For colloidal AuSP immunochromatographic analysis (AuSP-ICA), the LODs in solution and spiked cereal sample were 5.0 μg L−1 and 60 μg kg−1, and for AuNRs immunochromatographic analysis (AuNRs-ICA) the two LODs achieved 3.0 μg L−1 and 40 μg kg−1, respectively. These two proposed ICAs have minor cross-reaction to the structural analogs of ZEN, and no cross-reactivity with aflatoxin B1, T-2 toxin, ochratoxin A, deoxynivalenol, fumonisin B1. Both of the developed ICAs can specifically and sensitively detect ZEN in cereals, providing an effective strategy for rapid screening and detection of ZEN in a large number of food samples.

In this work we analyse yearly standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index for accumulation timescale of 6 months (SPEI‐6) for August which has been identified as a strong proxy for corn production in Serbia. By applying recently proposed method generalized weighted permutation entropy (GWPE), which provides the information about predictability of large/small fluctuations in nonstationary time series, on SPEI index calculated from high‐resolution gridded dataset for the period 1951–2022, we found that the small fluctuation sequences of consecutive 4‐year SPEI values are the most predictable (indicated by lowest entropy values). The order of large fluctuation sequences is less predictable, while the order of sequences considering all magnitudes of fluctuations are the least predictable (indicated by highest entropy values). We also analysed 4‐month SPEI‐6 sequences for May, June, July and August (during the growing season of corn) along the years under study and found that they display lower GWPE values and thus are more predictable than yearly SPEI‐6 August sequences (small fluctuations displaying lower entropy values than large fluctuations). Regarding spatial distributions, in both cases SPEI‐6 sequences show similar pattern for large fluctuations: higher predictability (lower entropy values) in northern and eastern part of Serbia and lower predictability (higher entropy values) in southern and western part. For small fluctuations spatial distribution of GWPE values indicates that yearly SPEI‐6 August series are more predictable in the western part of the country while May to August monthly SPEI‐6 sequences are more predictable in the eastern part.
