Mycotoxins in ingredients of animal feeding stuffs. II. Determination of mycotoxins in maize and maize products.

Forty samples of maize gluten and 27 samples of other maize products were examined for 22 different mycotoxins.  Aflatoxins were not found above the reporting limit (1-5 mg/kg) in any sample.  Ochratoxin A was detected in two samples of maize gluten at 2 mg/kg.  Neither sterigmatocystin nor cyclopiazonic acid was detected although the limits of detection for these toxins were poor.  Eight maize gluten samples contained zearalenone at up to 500 mg/kg and zearalenone was found in all other maize products with the highest levels occurring in screenings and meal and the lowest amounts occurring in flaked maize and germ.  Many samples contained a multi-toxin mixture of trichothecenes, fumonisins and moniliformin.  Fumonisins occurred in all except two gluten samples and occurred up to a level of 32 mg/kg in maize screenings, 13 mg/kg in maize and 8 mg/kg in maize germ.
