title: Stability of citrinin and deoxynivalenol during germination process of barley.
abstract: The stability of citrinin and deoxynivalenol during germination process of barley spiked with these mycotoxins at a level of 2/ig/g was investigated. Germinated barley was analyzed after 1, 3, and 5 days to follow the stability of citrinin and deoxynivalenol during the germination process. Two thin layer chromatographic methods were used for determinations of citrinin and deoxynivalenol. An average of 93.6% of citrinin and 77.1% of deoxynivalenol were destroyed within 5 days during the germination process of barley.
