Description
Summary:The necessity to obtain accurate and reliable data pertaining to the range and/or levels of mycotoxin contamination in a variety of food and feed substrates, intended for human or animal consumption, has therefore, become important. An integral part of this study will be the provision of the most suitable analytical methods for the determination of selected Fusarium mycotoxins, in maize. The culmination will be the application of those selected methodologies to a series of Transkeian maize samples associated with human oesophageal cancer-risk.
