Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by fungi. They can be present in where agricultural-based commodities are contaminated with toxigenic fungi. These mycotoxins cause various toxicoses in human and livestock when consumed. Small grains including corn, barley, rice or wheat are frequently contaminated with mycotoxins due to infection mainly by toxigenic Fusarium species and/or under environment favorable to fungal growth. One of the most well-known Fusarium toxin groups in cereals is trichothecenes consisting of many toxic compounds. Deoxynivalenol (DON), nivalenol (NIV), T-2 toxin, and various derivatives belong to this group. Zearalenone and fumonisin (FB) are also frequently produced by many species of the same genus. In order to monitor Korean cereals for contamination with Fusarium and other mycotoxigenic fungal species as well, barley, corn, maize, rice grains, and soybean were collected from fields at harvest or during storage for several years. The fungal colonies outgrown from the grain samples were identified based on morphological and molecular characteristics. Trichothecene chemotypes of Fusarium species or presence of FB biosynthetic gene were determined using respective diagnostic PCR to predict possible toxin production. Heavy grain contamination with fungi was detected in barley, rice and wheat. Predominant fungal genus of barley and wheat was Alternaria (up to 90%) while that of rice was Fusarium (~40%). Epicoccum also appeared frequently in barley, rice and wheat. While frequency of Fusarium species in barley and wheat was less than 20%, the genus mainly consisted of Fusarium graminearum species complex (FGSC) which known to be head blight pathogen and mycotoxin producer. Fusarium composition of rice was more diverse as FGSC, Fusarium incarnatum-equiseti species complex (FIESC), and Fusarium fujikuroi species complex (FFSC) appeared all at considerable frequencies. Prevalent fungal species of corn was FFSC (~50%), followed by FGSC (<30%). Most of FFSC isolates of corn tested appeared to be FB producer. In corn, Fusarium graminearum and DON chemotype dominate within FGSC, which was different from other cereals. Soybeans were contaminated with fungi less than other crops and Cercospora, Cladosporium, Alternaria, Fusarium etc. were detected at low frequencies (up to 14%). Other toxigenic species such as Aspergillus and Penicillium were irregularly detected at very low frequencies. Multi-year survey of small grains revealed dominant fungal species of Korea (barley, rice and wheat) is Fusarium asiaticum having NIV chemotype.

Species of the genus Fusarium are worldwide in their distribution. They are saprophytes as soil inhabitants and parasites of cultivated plants. Some isolates of certain species car capable of producing mycotoxins. Mycotoxicoses, including moldy corn toxicosis, alimentary toxic aleukia, fusariotoxicosis, and rel mold disease are known to be associated with trichothecene-producing fungi. Historically severe epidemic of cereal scab occred in the southern part of Korea in 1963. The epidemic caused a social problem because of not only heavy economic losses but also mycotoxicoses to humans and farm animals. However the toxic principles were remained unknown until some publications in 1980's indicated that trichothecenes and zearalenone were major mycotoxins in Korea cereals contaminated with Fusarium moniliforme have been found to be associated with human and animal disease such as leukoencephalomalacia in horses, pulmonary edema in swine and esophageal cancer in humans. High concentrations of fumonisins have been detected in corn samples from high espohoageal cancer risk areas of South Africa and China. Thus fumonisins have been implicated in the etiolgy of human esophageal cancer in those high incidence countries. Recently increase of imported cereals from foreign countries demands to assess the safety of mycotoxins in Korea. The informations on the natural occurrence of mycotoxins are needed to solve the toxicological problems in humans and farm animals associated with the consumption of moldy cereals.

The natural occurrence of mycotoxins in food and foodstuffs and the fate of mycotoxins during food processing were investigated. Aflatoxins and /or Fusarium mycotoxins(nivalenol, deoxynivalenol and zearalenone) were detected in commercial samples of various foods and foodstuffs collected at Tokyo markets. It was found that the mycotoxins were decomposed at high temperature, but some remained after heating at usual temperatures for an ordinary period for domestic cooking(boiling, deep-frying of grilling). Industrial food manufacturing processes were relatively effective for removing mycotoxins.

곤포 사일리지에서 분리한 Penicillium, Aspergillus, Fusarium속 균의 곰팡이독소 생산 여부를 조사한 결과, Penicillium paneum 균주의 배양여액에서 citrin과 patulin이 검출되었고, Aspergillus flavus 균주의 배양여액에서는 아프라톡신이 검출되었으나 A. fumigatus가 생산하는 것으로 알려진 글리오톡신은 검출되지 않았다. Fusarium proliferatum 균주는 Fusarium속 균이 일반적으로 많이 생산하는 fumonisin, zearalenone, deoxynivalenol 등 곰팡이 독소가 검출되지 않았다.

중국으로부터 수입한 68개의 옥수수시료에서 Fusarium진균독소의 오염을 조사하였다. 수입옥수수에서 eoxynivalenol(DON), 15-acetyldeoxynivalenol(15-ADON), 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol(3-ADON) 및 nivalenol(NIV) 등 4가지의 8-ketotrichothecene이 검출되었다. 또한 zearalenone(ZEA), fumonisin $B_1(FB_1)$, fumonisin $B_2(FB_2)$ 그리고 fumonisin $B_3(FB_3)$도 검출되었다. DON, 15-ADON, 3-ADON, ZEA 그리고 $FB_1$이 주요 오염독소였으며, 이들 독소의 평균오염농도는 각각 277, 34, 37, 39, 그리고 123 ng/g이었다.

미곡종합처리장에서 수집한 2011년산 쌀 시료 중 Fusarium 곰팡이독소의 자연발생을 조사하기 위해서, 벼, 왕겨, 현미, 청치미, 싸라기, 미강, 색채미, 백미 등의 시료를 2012년에 전국적으로 수집하였다. 371점의 시료에 대해 DON, NIV과 ZEA의 자연발생을 LC/MS로 분석하였다. 이중 색채미가 오염율과 오염도가 가장 높았고 다음이 싸라기였다. 백미는 3점이 DON, NIV에 안전한 수준으로 오염되었었지만 나머지는 곰팡이독소가 검출되지 않았다. 부산물은 백미보다 오염도나 오염율이 높았다.

2009년 국내산 옥수수 19점과 벼 32점을 대상으로 Fusarium 오염 및 Fusarium 독소 오염을 조사하였다. 옥수수와 벼 시료의 Fusarium 오염률은 각각 54.9%와 8.2%로 확인되었으며, 종 특이 primer를 이용한 PCR 증폭결과 옥수수시료에서 분리된 506균주 중 58균주의 F.graminearum 추정균주(11.5%)와 354균주의 F. verticillioides 추정균주(70.0%)가 동정되었다. 또한 벼의 경우, 분리된 315균주 중 276균주(87.8%)가 F. graminearum으로 추정 되었으며, F. verticillioides 추정균주는 검출되지 않았다. LC 및 LC-MS를 이용한 Fusarium 독소(DON, NIV, ZEA, FB)의 자연발생량 조사 결과, DON과 ZEA이 각각 2개의 옥수수 시료에서만 기준치 이상 검출되었다. FB는 대부분의 옥수수 시료와 한 개의 벼 시료에서 검출 되었으나 모두 기준치 이하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서 사용된 2009년산 옥수수와 벼의 곰팡이독소 오염수준은 대부분 기준치 이하로 심각하지 않았다.

T-2 toxin and HT-2 toxin, belong to type A trichothecences, are the most toxic mycotoxins among the trichothecene family. These mycotoxins are commonly found in cereals such as maize, wheat, barley, oats and rice, and their occurrence in food can be of concern. This review investigated the current trends of patents and researches on T-2 toxin and HT-2 toxin pertaining to natural occurrence, toxicity, metabolism, risk assessment, analytical and screening methods, and reduction/detoxification techniques. As compared with other $Fusarium$ mycotoxins, there are limited data for natural occurrence and risk assessment, and regulatory limit and official analytical methods on T-2 toxin and HT-2 toxin in domestic and foreign countries. In particular, selective deacetylation at the C3 and/or C4 positions of T-2 toxin by carboxyesterase present in foods was reported to cause the disappearance of T-2 and the extremely high HT-2 recoveries. Currently, regulatory limits for T-2 and HT-2 are under discussion in EU. For enforcement purposes it is essential to have available precise and reliable analytical methods applicable at the regulatory levels for the T-2 toxin and HT-2 toxin and relevant commodities. In addition, a further study on natural occurrence, risk assessment and reduction/detoxification techniques will be recommended.
