The distribution of Fusarium moulds and fumonisins was determined in commercial and experimental dry milled corn fractions. Fusarium infection of the commercial whole corn samples ranged from 10 to 28% with F. moniliforme the predominant species. Fumonisin concentrations were less than or equal to 0.1 m/kg in flaking grits, 0.2-1.1 mg/kg in flour, 0.1-2.0 mg/kg in germ and 1.5-3.2 mg/kg in bran. Yellow, blue and white dent corns naturally contaminated with varying levels of fumonisins were experimentally dry milled. Fusarium counts and fumonisins increased as grit size decreased, and high Fusarium counts and fumonisin concentrations were found in germ, bran and fines.
