Occurrence of Fusarium species and mycotoxins in Nepalese maize andwheat and the effect of traditional processing methods on mycotoxin levels.

Maize (Zea mays) and wheat (Triticum aestivum) collected in the foothills of the Nepal Himalaya Mountains were analysed for Fusarium species and mycotoxins. Predominant species were Gibberella fujjkuroi mating population A (Fusarium moniliforme) in maize and F. graminearum in maize and wheat. Strains of G. fujikuroi mating population A  (Fusarium moniliforme) in maize and F.graminearum in maize and wheat. Strains of G.fujikuroi mation population A produced fumonisins and in 22% of 74 maize samples fumonisins were detected at >1 mg/kg. Strains of F.graminearm produced NIV or DON which were detected at > 1 mg/kg in 16% of maize samples but were not detected in wheat. Nepalese rural and urban women were able to detoxify contaminated maize by hand sorting visibly diseased kernels.
