Five moldy corn samples were analyzed for Fusarium mycotoxins including 8-ketotrichothecenes, zeralenone (ZEA), and fumonisins and found to be heavily contaminated with these toxins. Among 8-ketotrichothecenes, deoxynivalenol (DON), 15-acetyl-DON, and nivalenol (NIV) were the major toxins rather than 3-acetyl-DON and 4-acetyl-NIV. In addition, one moldy corn sample was contaminated with iso-DON, which has the same molecular weight of DON. This is the first report iso-DON and DON as well as other Fusarium mycotoxins were occurred in moldy corn from Korea.
