Analysis of 98 mouldy corn samples collected in Wisconsin between November 1992 and January 1993 for Fusarium toxins revealed overall average mycotoxin concentrations of 305.6, 237.7, and 904.3mg/kg for type A trichothecenes, DON-related type B trichothecenes (total DON), and zearalenone (ZEA), respectively. Analysis of selected samples by HPLC monidtoring with an ELISA revealed that T-2 toxin, HT-2 toxin, diacetoxyscirpenol, neosolaniol and T-2 tetraol were common in these samples. Statistical analysis showed a weak correlation between the levels of total type P trichothecenes and total DON in the samples, but a strong correlation between the levels of ZEA and total type B trichothecenes.
