Mycotoxins in barley and oat samples from eastern Canada.

Mycotoxin  contamination in barley and oats  harvested in Eastern  Canada was investigated by  studying  data retrieved  from  the  mycotosin  Databank  of  the Canadian  Food  Inspection  Agency.  Of  the  116  barley samples  collected from  1991  to  1998  crops, 84  were  contaminated  with DON.  Some  samples  contained DON  at up  to 8-9  mg/Kg.  DON  contamination  was  particularly  severe in  the  years 1996,  1997  and  1998.  By  comparison,  DON  contamination  was  less frequent  and less severe  in oats  only 34/73  oat  samples  contained  DON.  Thirty-four  percent of the barley  somples  and  15%  of the oat  samples  contained  nivalenol. Zearalenone,  OA, 3-acetyl DON,  15-acetyl  DON  and  T-2  toxin were  also  detected at low  frequencies;  but  HT-2,  diacetosyscipenol,  fusarenon X,  15-acetoxyscirpenol  and  neosolaniol  were not  detected in  these  samples.
