Abstract
Mycotoxin analyses in the state of Vorarlberg were concentrated on the aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, G2 and occasionally M1, on Ochratoxin A (OTA) and Patulin. The analyses were carried out on high performance liquid chromatography. For fast screening a radio immuno affinity technique (CHARM II) was introduced and employed lately.
The results prove that only very few food samples are not contaminated by mycotoxins. In some samples the mycotoxin content exceeded the limit several times. The actual average mycotoxin content of food was very low but with regards to the precautionary principle the intake of these mould-toxins should be further minimised.
