The occurrence of fusaproliferin was surveyed in 22 samples of preharvest maize ears Fusarium rot, collected in Italy in 1994. The most frequently recovered Fusarium species were F. moniliforme and F. proliferatum. Fusaproliferin at up to 500 mg/kg was identified in nine samples mostly infected by F. proliferatum. Fusaproliferin was often found associated with fumonisin B1 (FB1) (up to 300 mg/kg) and beauvericin (up to 520 mg/kg). The occurrence of fusaproliferin as a nutural maize contaminant and its co-occurrence with FB1 and beauvericin is reported here for the first time.
