Fumonisins are a group of mycotoxins formed by Fusarium moulds. They are extremely prevalent within grain crops, especially when these crops are stored without good storage practices adhered to.
Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by fungi on agricultural commodities in the field or during storage. It is estimated at 25% of the world's food crops are affected, resulting in large commercial losses. Mycotoxins can cause serious health problems (including some being suspected carcinogens) and so are tightly regulated across the world. Mycotoxin contamination is the largest cause of rapid alerts raised against imported food products. Fapas has introduced multi-mycotoxin proficiency tests as well as those for emerging mycotoxins.
Maize Flour is used within many foodstuffs across the globe. As such effective testing measures should be undertaken to highlight any poor storage practices and as such high levels of mycotoxins. Many maize flours make use of the whole maize grain, as such it is important to ensure effective Fumonisin identification.
Fapas reference materials can be used to standardise your testing processes between proficiency tests, through staff training and instrumentation calibration, but to a higher degree of accuracy than can be achievable with quality control materials alone.
