Determination of fumonisin B1, deoxynivalenol and aflatoxin B1 in cereals
Publication metadata
This report presents the results of the ILC of the EU-RL for Mycotoxins which focused on the determination of aflatoxin B1 (AfB1), deoxynivalenol (DON) and fumonisin B1 (FB1) in cereal samples. Seventy one participants from 31 countries registered for the exercise. Fifty-nine sets of results were reported for FB1 for both test samples, 69 for DON and 70 for Afla B1. Only z-scores were used for an evaluation of an underperformance. In total about 70 % of the attributed z scores were below an absolute value of 2, which indicated that most of the participants performed satisfactory or better. The conducted PT revealed that the biggest challenge was the accurate determination of FB1 at higher concentration levels.
