Abstract: | Samples (n=106) of maize and maize products were analysed for 13 trichothecene toxins and zearalenone (ZON). All 14 toxins
examined were detected, although with varying frequency. Cooccurrence of two or more toxins was observed in 96% of samples.
The toxins of the scirpenol group scirpentriol, 15-monoacetoxyscirpenol and diacetoxyscirpenol were detected in 14, 27 and
3% of the samples analysed, the toxins of the T-2 group T-2 toxin, HT-2 toxin, T-2 triol und T-2 tetraol were found in 33,
66, 2 and 7%. Toxin content was higher in feeds than in foods (semolina and flour). In food samples, the German regulatory
level for DON (500 μg/kg) was not exceeded, three samples of maize flour contained ZON above the regulatory level (50 μg/kg).
