Abstract
Fast test systems fulfilling legislative specifications are required to determine mycotoxin contamination in unprocessed cerealse.g. at grain elevators, import and export terminals, or the milling and brewing industry to prevent contamination of food and feed.We describe the first tests of a novel fluorescence-based test for deoxynivalenol (DON), which will be commercially available within the next few months.The analytical procedure of the new test takes less than 15 minutes for extraction, purification, derivatization and measurement. The system's advantage is its speed and easy procedure providing quantitative DON determination.To ensure an international standard, the validation procedure for wheat, barley and maize will be performed following USDA/GIPSA requirements (03/2006) for DON tests.
