Contamination of German malting barley and of malt produced from it with the mycotoxins ochratoxin A and B.

OA and ochratoxin B (OB) contamination was assessed in malting barley from the harvest in the wet year 1996 and of malt produced from this barley.  Samples were obtained from 16 or 17 malting plants from various parts of Germany and included malting barley immediately after harvest and after 5 months of storage, as well as malts obtained from these barley lots.  OA was found in 7.1, 10.1 and 11.7% and OB in 7.8, 4.0 and 5.3% of the three kinds of samples, respectively.  The median values of OA and OB for fresh barley were 0.035 and 0.036mg/kg, in stored barley 0.1 and 0.14 mg/kg, and in malt 0.26 and 0.04 mg/kg, respectively.  Storage and malting did not significantly change the incidence or concentrations of the toxins.  (In German)
