  • Title: [The contamination of the 1986-1988 wheat harvests with deoxynivalenol (vomitoxin)].

    Abstract:
    The authors used high-performance liquid chromatography to estimate the content of deoxynivalenol (vomitoxin) trichothecene mycotoxin in 175 samples of wheat harvested in the Krasnodar Territory in 1986-1988. High incidence rates and levels of wheat intoxication have been recorded: 42.8% in 1986, 25% in 1987, and 80.28% of wheat samples in 1988 contained deoxynivalenol in concentrations exceeding MPC (1 mg/kg). A correlation was noted between the degree of wheat affection with Fusarium and the level of its intoxication with deoxynivalenol. A conclusion has been made on the necessity of using the criteria of the degree of wheat affection with Fusarium and the level of its intoxication with deoxynivalenol in hygienic recommendations for safe utilization of fusarial grain for food purposes.
