Survey on Contamination of Fusarium Mycotoxins in 2011-harvested Rice and Its By-products from Rice Processing Complexes in Korea

| Summary: | To investigate Fusarium mycotoxin contamination in rice samples from rice processing complexes (RPCs),
paddy rice and rice-milling products such as husks, brown rice, blue-tinged rice, broken rice, rice bran,
discolored rice, and polished rice were collected from nationwide in 2012. Three hundred seventy one samples
of rice and its by-products were analyzed for three trichothethenes including nivalenol (NIV), deoxynivalenol
(DON), and zearalenone (ZEA) by LC/MS. Discolored rice samples were found to have the highest
contamination of DON, NIV or ZEA, followed by broken rice. Polished rice samples were largely free from
mycotoxins, except three samples which were contaminated with NIV or DON at safety level. The rice byproduct
samples were contaminated at higher level and frequencies than polished rice samples. |
