Alternaria toxins are mycotoxins produced by Alternaria fungi that cause plant diseases on many crops in the field and postharvest. Alternaria toxins have been reported to occur in various foodstuffs including cereals, fruits and vegetables. Data on the incidence and the quantity of Alternaria mycotoxins found in food products is necessary for dietary exposure evaluations.
Within this proficiency test your ability to test cereal (powdered) for Alternaria toxins - alternariol (AOH), alternariol monomethyl ether (AME) and tenuazonic acid (TeA) will be evaluated.
