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.
Mycotoxin analytes require effective testing measures due to their toxicity. Within animal feed this is increasingly important due to the sometimes poor storage practices used across many farms. To achieve the effective and accurate testing required proficiency testing measures should be utilised as part of a well-designed quality assurance programme.
Toxins DON and ZON (deoxynivalenol and zearalenone respectively) are included in the highly regulated mycotoxins. Wheat flour incurs many of the same risks associated with poor storage practices. As such the ability to highlight contaminants within flour is of significant importance to protect both manufacturers from loss of reputation and consumers from unsafe produce.
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.
