Sažetak
There is not enough data on the occurrence of unregulated and/or masked mycotoxins in Croatia, and one of the aims of the CroMycoScreen project was to properly screen their presence. In the 200 samples of cereals form all Croatian counties, there were 128 different mycotoxins, bacterial toxins, and plant metabolites detected, and so far only a few of them are regulated. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has also requested that the member states screen the cereals for the following mycotoxins: enniatins, beauvericin, sterigmatocystein, moniliformin, diacetoxyscirpenol, nivalenol, 3-and 15- acetilydeoxynivalenol, deoxynivalenol-3- glucoside, ergot alkaloids, and Alternaria toxins. Out of all the items on the EFSA’s list, only sterigmatocystein was not detected, while all other mycotoxins were present. The monitoring partially continued with fewer samples, and the presence of the unregulated and/or masked mycotoxins was confirmed in Croatian cereals in the harvesting years from 2013 to 2016. The data was used to prepare heat maps and network graphs for easy visual detection of the problematic areas and cereals. Continued monitoring could generate enough data for prediction models, which could be used to increase cereal-based food and feed safety.
