Distribution of deoxynivalenol in barley kernels infected by Fusarium
1998
Perkowski, J.
Deoxynivalenol (DON) in concentration range 0.1-156.6 mg/kg, was found in 48 samples of barley kernels collected from heads with visible symptoms of head scab of inoculation in a field with Fusarium culmorum and Fusarium graminearum. The highest DON accumulation was observed in fraction of small ( 2.5 mm) kernels.These results indicate that as well level of samples contamination with DON as human and animal health risk in consequence can be reduced by kernel selection (according their size) followed by rejection of the smallest kernels fraction.
