Original Abstract

In 2008-2011, the occurrence of deoxynivalenol (DON), zearalenone (ZON), T-2 toxin (T-2), and HT-2 toxin (HT-2) was studied in 325 malting barley samples collected from various regions of the Czech Republic. The highest occurrence of fusarium mycotoxins was recorded in crop 2009 (2213.5, 59.4 and 145.0 mg/kg for DON, ZON and PT-2, HT-2, respectively). Only one measured value exceeded the maximum allowable limit for DON set by the European Union. The validated method of high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spektrometry was used for the analysis of the above mentioned toxins. Limits of detection were 1.5 mg/kg for DON, ZON and HT-2 and 0.3 mg/kg for T-2, the limits of quantification were 5.0 mg/kg for DON, ZON and HT-2 and 1.0 mg/kg for T-2.
