Sažetak
In this study, 25 wheat samples (harvest 2009) were collected from storage tanks of the local producers from five eastern Croatian Counties and analyzed on mycotoxins occurrence. The samples were stored in diverse ways: in concrete silos, metal silos or foot warehouse equipped with or without temperature sensors, and with or without cooling or ventilation systems. Wheat quality parameters such as moisture, protein and starch content, sedimentation value, wet gluten content, gluten index and falling number were also measured. Seven fungi species were detected (Asperigillus, Alternaria, Cladosporium, Fusarium, Penicillium, Rhizopus and Cephalosporum) at low contamination levels (1.0·10^2 fungi/g - 1.7·10^4 fungi/g). Fusarium was present in all samples. Four mycotoxins were found (aflatoxin, ochratoxin, deoxynivalenol, zearalenone and T-2/HT-2) reaching concentrations that do not exceed the maximum permissible level of mycotoxins in cereals for unprocessed grains (total aflatoxin, 2.5 µg/kg ; DON, 50-850 µg/kg ; zearalenone, 0.2-89.8 µg/kg, and T-2/HT2, 0.5 µg/kg).
