Occurrence of Fumonisins B1 and B2 in Corn-Based Products from the Spanish Market

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The natural occurrence of fumonisins B1 and B2, the incidence of Fusarium organisms, and the capacity of Fusarium isolates to produce fumonisins were investigated with 50 corn-based samples from Spain destined for human consumption. Eight samples (16%) were found to be contaminated with fumonisins. The levels of contamination were very low, with a mean of 80 ng/g.
