1 1 Joint Research Centre (JRC) Occurrence of Mycotoxins in Food and Feed Gıda ve Yemlerde Mikotoksinlerin Oluşumu Joerg Stroka IRMM - Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements Geel - Belgium http://irmm.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ http://www.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ A long lasting history 2 2 ~1600..."Wailing and writhing men collapsed in the street: others fell over and foamed in epileptic fits whilst some vomited and showed signs of insanity. Many of them shouted "Fire! I'm burning". It was an invisible fire that separated the flesh from the bones and consumed it. Men, women and children died in unbearable agonising pain."... 2006 1
WHO perspective 3 3 Often cited WHO statement: More than 20% of food worldwide are contaminated with mycotoxins WHO nun Görüşü: Dünyadaki gıdaların %20 sinden fazlası mikotoksinlerle kontamine olmuştur. Four Dimensions Dört Boyut 4 4 Occurrence as function of time Oluşumda zamanın etkisi Occurrence can change over time for many reasons Oluşum pekçok sebepten ötürü zaman içinde değişebilir. Occurrence as function of the matrix Oluşumda matriksin etkisi Fungy have a preference for the substrate they grow on Küf... Occurrence as function of production practices Oluşumda üretim yönteminin etkisi e.g. GMP, food processing, storage Örn. GMP, üretim, depolama... Occurrence as function of the environment Oluşumda çevrenin etkisi pre- or post-harvest conditions, humidity, etc hasat öncesi ya da sonrası şartlar, nem vs. 2
Humidity THE key factor Nem Anahtar faktör 5 5 Insufficiently dry prior harvest/storage Hasat/Depolama öncesi yetersiz kurutma Insect damage (pre and post harvest) Böcek yeniği Formation of hot-spots (various reasons, also insect damage) Kritik noktaların oluşması ( böcek ısırığı gibi çeşitli nedenler) Penetration of water (e.g. condensation) Ürüne su girmesi Every fungi has its matrix to grow on Her küfün gelişebileceği uygun matriksi vardır 6 6 Most fungi grow / produce mycotoxins only on a limited number of matrices: Çoğu küf mikotoksinleri sadece sınırlı sayıdaki matrikste üretebilirler Penicillium expansum produces patulin mainly in apple juice Penicillium expansum patulini temelde elma suyunda üretir. Fusarium moniliforme produces fumonisins mainly in maize Fusarium moniliforme fumonisinleri genelde mısırda üretir Some matrices are more susceptible hosts than others: Bazı matrisler diğerlerinden daha hassas taşıyıcılardır. Maize is subject to all kinds of fungal infestations and many mycotoxins can be found on maize. Mısır bütün küf kaynaklı hastalıklara konu olur ve pek çok mikotoksin mısırda bulunabilir. Fungal growth on oats is more limited (mainly T-2 and HT-2 toxins) Yulafta küf gelişimi daha sınırlıdır (genelde T-2 ve HT-2 toksinleri) 3

The feed samples which were found negative by chemical assay employing thin layer chromatography were tested by plate-elisa. Out of samples tested, 23 samples (85.18%) were found positive... Abstract (2001) The present investigation was undertaken for analysis of aflatoxin B1 in naturally contaminated poultry feed/ingredients using an indirect competitive double antibody dot-elisa 92.21% (71) samples of poultry feed/ingredients were found positive for aflatoxin B1 which include 21 samples found negative by pressure mini column and thin layer chromatography. 7
Examples of published Surveys 15 15 Abstract (2006) OTA and DON were assessed by HPLC in organically and conventionally produced beers sold in Belgium High OTA contamination above the limit of 200 ng/l (up to 1134 ngl-1) occasionally occurred in organically produced beers. A complementary survey performed with the same brands in 2005 did not confirm this accidental presence of excessive OTA loads The overall incidence of DON was 67 and 80% in conventional and organic beers, respectively. Abstract (2006) It also aimed to survey the presence and amounts of DON, OTA and ZEN in Belgian conventionally and organically produced wheat grain and in wholemeal wheat flours Organic and conventional wheat samples harvested in 2002 and 2003 in Belgium were analysed for DON, OTA and ZEN, while wholemeal wheat flour samples were taken from Belgian retail shops and analysed for OTA and DON. Conventional wheat tended to be more frequently contaminated with DON and ZEN than organic samples, Wheat samples collected in 2003 were less affected by DON and ZEN than the 2002 harvest. Organic wholemeal wheat flours were more frequently contaminated by OTA than conventional samples The opposite pattern was shown for DON, organic samples being more frequently contaminated than conventional flours...

Changes over time Zaman içinde değişim 17 17 Mycotoxin occurrence is irregular over time: Mikotoksin oluşumu zamandan bağımısızdır but a known problem over the centuries (ergot in Europe) fakat yüzyıllardır süren problemler bilinmektedir (Avrupa da ergot) With the invention of removal practices (so called trieur ), they could be removed, until it was observed that the sclerotia of ergot changed size in some regions (due to dryness?) and observed changes can be extreme (e.g. aflatoxins in Kenya) Saptanan değişimler ekstrem olabilir (örn. Kenya da aflatoksin) Changes over time Zaman içinde değişim 17 18 Irregular waves of aflatoxin occurrence for not clearly identified reasons (wrong storage, bad or little harvest) caused death of humans especially in outbreaks during 2004 and 2006. 2004-2006 yılları arasında insan ölümlerine yol açan aflatoksin oluşumundaki dalgalanmaların sebepleri belirlenememiştir.

Visible and hidden mycotoxins Görünür ve gizli mikotoksinler 20 21 Other forms of known mycotoxins that are relevant for the interpretation of occurrence data (if knowledge is available!!!) Bilinen mikotoksinlerin diğer formları So called. hidden mycotoxins Gizli mikotoksinler Fumonisine (P. Scott, U. Meister, H.U. Humpf) Zearalenone ZON-glucoside (Schneeweiss, et.al. 2002) Deoxynivalenol DON-glucoside (Berthiller et.al. 2005) Mycotoxins in animal products Hayvansal ürünlerde mikotoksinler 21 22 Aflatoxin M1 metabolite of Aflatoxin B1 (found in milk (suffix M). The transfer ratio is usually 1 3 % AfB1 AfM1 Aflatoksin B1 in metabolitidir (Sütte bulunur) Transfer oranı genelde %1-3 arasıdır. Ochratoxin A has a rather long half time (t½ or t0.5) of ~16 days in some animal and human tissues (e.g. blood and liver) due to its binding affinity to certain proteins. İnsanların ve bazı hayvanların dokularında yarılanma süresi belirli proteinlere bağlanma yetisi sebebi ile biraz daha uzundur. 11
