A Comparative Regional and International Standard Limits prospects on T-2 Toxin polutions in some States of I.R.Iran

There is a great need to validate analytical methods for rapid, sensitive and accurate determination mycotoxins in order to properly assess the relevant risk of exposure and to ensure that regulatory levels fixed by the regional or international organizations are met. The aim of this study is to provide a measure of the significance of in cereals and cereal-based products impurities with T-2 toxin for human consumption in Iran. New harvested and cropped wheat samples obtained from 7 provinces .T-toxin levels, were exceeded the standard limits (20-21μg/Kg-bw) therefore, revealed are not safe for consumption. All found values were too much lower than toxin limits of acceptance by the FDA (100 ppb, are equal <50%), 60.0 ppb by the EC are equal <10% thus all examined cropped wheat got authorized for international consumption. An inevitable part of the preventive measures is regular foodstuffs monitoring with mycotoxicological examinations. Based on our collected results between wheat samples and wheat based-flour products, there are no significant differences in T-toxin pollution upon the national permitted limit as well as the CE and FDA advisory acceptance.
