A preliminary survey for the natural occurrence of Fusarium mycotoxins--nivalenol (NIV), deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZEN)--in cereals imported mostly from Australia to Papua, New Guinea (PNG) in 1991 was carried out by TLC, GLC, and HPLC analysis. The data have revealed various kinds of cereals and cereal flours, such as wholemeal flour, millet meal, corn flour, brown trukai rice, and others, were significantly contaminated with these mycotoxins in various concentrations. Among these Fusarium mycotoxins, the level of ZEN was surprisingly high. This is the first report on the natural occurrence of Fusarium mycotoxins in PNG cereals.
1991年，通过薄层色谱法（TLC）、气相色谱法（GLC）和高效液相色谱法（HPLC）分析，对主要从澳大利亚进口到巴布亚新几内亚（PNG）的谷物中镰刀菌霉菌毒素——雪腐镰刀菌烯醇（NIV）、脱氧雪腐镰刀菌烯醇（DON）和玉米赤霉烯酮（ZEN）的自然存在情况进行了初步调查。数据显示，各种谷物和谷物粉，如全麦粉、小米粉、玉米粉、棕色特鲁凯米，以及其他谷物，都被这些霉菌毒素以不同浓度显著污染。在这些镰刀菌霉菌毒素中，玉米赤霉烯酮的含量出奇地高。这是关于PNG谷物中镰刀菌霉菌毒素自然存在情况的首次报告。
