An overview of the multi-mycotoxin occurrence inSouth African produced maize
ChromSAAMS 201612 SEPTEMBER 2016
The Southern African Grain Laboratory NPCQuality is our passion
Evaluation of the status of occurrence of mycotoxins in South
African maize from all the production regions
Accumulation of reliable analytical data to establish a
database on the situation in South Africa to enable the maize
industry to comment on proposed maximum allowable levels
Supply reliable data as basis for targeted research projects
to effectively manage the mycotoxin levels in maize

300 – 400 chemical toxins produced by fungi in food crops
Mycotoxins form through fungal growth during the pre- and
post – harvest period
Formation dependent on environmental conditions that
stress the plant:
drought, temperature, nitrogen deficiency, insect damage
Contaminate human food and animal feed
Toxicity of most mycotoxins not yet known but can be acute
or chronic: Aflatoxin B1 classified as carcinogenic
Regulations worldwide are different
Different maximum allowable levels for different mycotoxins
and commodities

SA produced annually more than 10 million tons of maize;
approximately 48 % white maize and 52% yellow maize

This mycotoxin survey gives for the first time a representative South Africanperspective on the occurrence and concentration levels of South Africa’s annualcommercial maize crop.
The 2013/2014 average concentration levels of FUM (451 µg/kg) and DON(372 µg/kg) in SA commercial maize are 6 fold lower than the averageconcentrations reported in maize in the 2014 Biomin Mycotoxin Survey
The FUM and DON levels pose a relatively low risk when compared to themaximum allowable levels for DON and FUM in feeding stuff for animal feedand the proposed levels for human consumption but the allowable levels forfumonisin may change in future as more scientific research results becomeavailable on the fumonisin risk to animal health.
