ABSTRACT
In this work, 80 commercial samples of breadcrumbs, purchased from different supermarkets located in Valencia (Spain), were investigated for the presence of 11 legislated mycotoxins. Only 9 samples evidenced the presence of the legislated mycotoxins. The compounds detected were ochratoxin A (OTA), zearalenone (ZEA), T-2 toxin (T-2) and HT-2 toxin (HT-2). The incidence of OTA was of 3.75% with concentrations ranging from 1.50 to 6.75 µg/kg. One sample showed a contamination level higher than the maximum legislated in Europe for OTA. Three samples were contaminated with ZEA at concentrations varying from 64.32 to 449.21 µg/kg; all values were higher than the maximum allowed by the legislation. T-2 and HT-2 were detected in two (18.25- 2700.48 µg/kg) and one (147.79 µg/kg) of the 80 samples, respectively. Finally, the estimated dietary intakes (EDIs) of the detected mycotoxins, among the Valencian population, were calculated and the health risk assessment was performed. The calculated EDIs were all below the established tolerable daily intake values (TDI)
RESUMEN
En este trabajo, 80 muestras comerciales de pan rallado, compradas en diferentes supermercados ubicados en Valencia (España), fueron investigadas por la presencia de 11 micotoxinas legisladas. Sólo 9 muestras evidenciaron la presencia de las micotoxinas legisladas. Los compuestos detectados fueron ocratoxina A (OTA), zearalenona (ZEA), toxina T-2 (T-2) y toxina HT-2 (HT-2). La incidencia de OTA fue de 3.75% con concentraciones que van desde 1.50 a 6.75 µg / kg. Una muestra mostró un nivel de contaminación más alto que el máximo legislado en Europa para OTA. Tres muestras se contaminaron con ZEA en concentraciones que variaban de 64.32 a 449.21 µg / kg; todos los valores fueron superiores al máximo permitido por la legislación. T-2 y HT-2 se detectaron en dos (18.25-2700,48 µg / kg) y una (147.79 µg / kg) de las 80 muestras, respectivamente. Finalmente, se calcularon las ingestas dietéticas estimadas (EDI) de las micotoxinas detectadas, entre la población valenciana, y se realizó la evaluación del riesgo para la salud. Los EDI calculados estaban todos por debajo de los valores de ingesta diaria tolerable (TDI) establecidos
