Occurrence of fumonisins b(1) and b(2) in corn-based products from the spanish market.
The natural occurrence of fumonisins B(1) and B(2), the incidence of Fusarium organisms, and the capacity of Fusarium isolates to produce fumonisins were investigated with 50 corn-based samples from Spain destined for human consumption. Eight samples (16%) were found to be contaminated with fumonisins. The levels of contamination were very low, with a mean of 80 ng/g.
