Model studies on the diffusion behavior of the mycotoxin patulin in apples, tomatoes, and wheat bread.

The diffusion behaviour of patulin in apples, tomatoes and wheat bread was studied using stable isotope dilution assays. Results showed that patulin did not diffuse into apples affected by the fungus Penicillium expansum. At a distance of more than 2 cm from the infected zone the mycotoxin was not detectable. In a similar experiment with tomatoes, patulin was found to penetrate into the whole fruit. In moulded wheat bread crumb the patulin content fell sharply with distance from the fungal mycelium. A comparison with aflatoxins revealed that these mycotoxins show much faster diffusion into the crumb as compared to patulin.
