title: Mycotoxins in cereal grain (part 15). Distribution of deoxynivalenol in naturally contaminated wheat kernels.
abstract: The analysis of deoxynivalenol (DON) in naturally infected wheat samples, after having been separated into four fractions through laboratory sieves, showed very low levels of DON in the fraction of largest kernels >2.8 mm (0 up to 1 mg/kg). The highest concentration of DON was found in fractions 2.2 to 2.5 mm and <2.2mm with up to 14mg/kg and 15mg/kg DON, respectively. In two samples (fractions <2.2mm) nivalenol was detected in concentrations up to 1,4mg/kg.
