Improve and validate the analysis for T-2 toxin and HT-2 toxin and occurrence of these mycotoxins in food in the German market
Project
Project code: 2805HS001/1
Contract period: 01.01.2006
- 31.12.2008
Budget: 204,590 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
In order to define tolerable dailies for type A trichothecenes by the Scientific Committee for Food of the EU and the current discussion on the regulation of Fusariumtoxinen is expected to count until 2007 with EU limits for T-2 toxin and HT-2 toxin. Is the analysis of T-2 toxin and HT-2 toxin not yet fully developed and validated methods are not available. Furthermore, in terms of operational quality and self-monitoring for compliance with maximum levels of simple rapid method is required. The aim of this research project therefore is to develop and validate adequate analysis systems for T-2 toxin and HT-2 toxin. According to the requirement for a future etablierendes, integrated detection system, these works, the development, verification and optimization of suitable sample preparation method and include methods of investigation on the levels of 'screening tests', 'preliminary confirmation tests' and 'reference procedure'. Through regular comparative tests on a standardized basis to the performance of individual systems for relevant sample matrices in practical applications are examined and documented. The homogeneity of the toxin load of important foods in the form of the commercially available range is examined in relation to the establishment of adequate sampling procedures within the project. In addition to the burden on the food of the German market over three harvest years, determined by monitoring of relevant studies (cereal-) food as well as search analytics. From this data can then be calculated the inclusion of these toxins by the German consumer.
