摘要
The presence of deoxynivalenol （DON）, total aflatoxins, ochratoxin （OTA） and zearalenone （ZEA） was investigated in malting barley samples harvested in Romania using an ELISA method （VERATOX, Neogen）. In 7 out of 14 barley samples the aflatoxins were not found at detectable levels （50%）. In 9 out of 14 barley samples the OTA was not found at detectable levels （64.29%）. In 1 out of 14 barley samples the DON was not found at detectable levels （7.14%）. In 13 out of 14 barley samples （92.86%） the ZEA was above the acceptable limit （100μg/kg）. For all barley samples the aflatoxins, DON and OTA were in line with European Union regulations in force （4.0 μg/kg for aflatoxins, 1,250.0μg/kg for DON, 5.0 μg/kg for OTA, respectively）.
