Corn samples collected from the Philippines, Thailand, and Indonesia were surveyed for the natural occurrence of Fusarium mycotoxins (fumonisins, trichothecenes, and zearalenone) and aflatoxins. Fumonisins B1 and B2 were found in over 50% of corn samples in individual countries, and their co-occurrences with aflatoxins at the incidence of 48% were noted. In addition to these mycotoxins, a trichothecene, nivalenol, and an estrogen, zearalenone, both mycotoxins of Fusarium species, were detected in these Southeast Asian samples. This is the first report on the simultaneous occurrence of two carcinogenic mycotoxins, fumonisins and aflatoxins, together with Fusarium mycotoxins (nivalenol and zearalenone) in corn from Asian tropics.
Sampel jagung yang dikumpulkan dari Filipina, Thailand, dan Indonesia disurvei untuk kejadian mikotoksin Fusarium alami (fumonisin, trichothecenes, dan zearalenone) dan aflatoksin. Fumonisins B1 dan B2 ditemukan di lebih dari 50% sampel jagung di masing-masing negara, dan aflatoksin pada 48% kejadian dicatat. Selain mikotoksin, trichothecene, nivalenol, dan estrogen, zearalenone, kedua mikotoksin spesies Fusarium, terdeteksi pada sampel Asia Tenggara ini. Hal ini adalah laporan pertama kejadian serentak dari dua mikotoksin karsinogenik, fumonisin dan aflatoksin, bersama dengan mioksin Fusarium (nivalenol dan zearalenon) pada jagung dari daerah tropis Asia.
