title: Survey of the presence of the Fusarium mycotoxins nivalenol, deoxynivalenol and T-2 toxin in Korean cereals of the 1989 harvest.
abstract: Twenty eight samples of rice, barley, millet, corn and Indian millet harvested in Korea in 1989 were subjected to assay for contamination of nivalenol (NIV), deoxynivalenol (DON) and T-2 toxin by using gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Seven samples were found to be positive for NIV and DON in the ranges of 189-624 micrograms/kg and 168-506 micrograms/kg, respectively. Of the contaminated samples, three samples, one barley, one Indian millet and one corn sample were contaminated simultaneously with both NIV and DON. T-2 toxin was not detected in any samples.
