Natural occurrence of fumonisins B1 and B2 indomestic maize of Taiwan.

Samples of maize grown in various districts of Taiwan were collected and analysed for the presence of FB1 and FB2 using HPLC. Of 110 samples, 49 were found to contain FB1 (109-1148 mg/kg) and 2 were found to contain FB2 (222-255mg/kg).  More than 79% of tested samples had FB1 concentrations less than 100mg/kg, whereas 2.7% (or 3 samples) contained FB1 at greater than 300 mg/kg.  These results clearly illustrated that domestically produced maize for human consumption is frequently contaminated with FB1.
