The occurrence of HT-2 toxin and other trichothecenes in Norwegin cereals.

A total o 449 grain samples, 102 barley, 169 wheat and 178 oat samples were collected from different regions of Norway from 1996-1998 crops, mainly from grain loads and silos. The samples were analysed for type A and B trichothcenes. DON and HT-2 toxin were the trichothecenes most frequently detected,followed by T-2 toxin, nivalenol (NIV) and scirpentriol. Oats were most heavily contaminated grain with an incidence HT-2 toxin, T-2 toxin, DON and NIV of 70 ,30,57 and 10%,respectively, The corresponding values for barley were 22,5,17 and 6% and for wheat 1.2,0.6,14 and 0%, respectively. Norwegian oats were found to contain HT-2 toxin and T-2 toxin in concentrations that might be at threat to human health for high consumers of oats.
