A total of 71 samples consisting of 36 mouldy and 35 visibly healthy corn were collected from Kangwon province of Korea and analysed for 8-ketotrichothecenes, zearalenone (ZEA) and fumonisins. Deoxynivalenol (DON), 15-acetylDON, 3-acetylDON, nivalenol (NIV) and 4-acetylNIV, ZEA, fumonisin B1 (FB1), FB2 and FB3 were detected in mouldy corn with mean values of 4.0, 0.9, 0.2, 1.7, 0.4, 0.6, 23.2, 7.5 and 6.3 mg/kg, respectively. Visibly healthy corn samples were contaminated with lower levels of mycotoxins than mouldy corn samples. This is the first report on the simultaneous occurrence of trichothecenes, ZEA and fumonisins in corn from Korea.
