Abstract

Deoxynivalenol (DON), a trichothecene mycotoxin produced from Fusarium spp, can cause toxic effects in both animals and humans. Wheat is one among a variety of cereal grains that Thai people consume daily. Therefore, randomized samplings of commercially available wheat grains (n= 100) from Bangkok markets were conducted, in order to investigate contaminated levels of DON. Collected samples were analyzed for DON concentration using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The results showed low levels of DON in the range of 0 - 0.88 ppm (average = 0.165 ppm).
