Abstract

In this review, the mycotoxin contamination of Korean cereals and their products is analyzed by crop based on scientific publications since 2000. Barley, rice, and corn were investigated heavier than the others. The common mycotoxins occurred in all cereals and their products were deoxynivalenol and zearalenone. Nivalenol was detected in all samples analyzed but more frequently or mainly in barley, rice, and oat. Fumonisin was commonly detected in corn and sorghum but also in adlay, millet, and rice. Adlay and millet were similar in the contamination pattern that fumonisin and zearalenone were the most frequently detected mycotoxins. Zearalenone was the most commonly detected mycotoxin with concentrations higher than the national standards (maximum limit), followed by deoxynivalenol, and aflatoxin. However, most occurrence levels were below the maximum limits for respective mycotoxins. This result shows that barley, rice, corn, sorghum, millet, and adlay are more vulnerable to mycotoxin contamination than other cereals and therefore continuous monitoring and safety management are necessary.

이 논문에서는 2000년 이후 우리나라의 곡류와 곡류 가공품의 곰팡이독소 오염실태를 보고한 논문들을 작물별로 분석하였다. 보리, 쌀, 옥수수는 다른 곡류보다 많이 조사되었다. 모든 곡류와 곡류의 가공품에 공통으로 발생한 독소는 데옥시니발레놀과 제랄레논이었다. 니발레놀은 분석한 모든 시료에서 검출되었지만 보리, 쌀, 귀리에서 더욱 빈번하거나 주로 검출되었다. 푸모니신은 옥수수와 수수 외에 율무, 기장, 쌀에서도 검출되었다. 율무와 기장은 푸모니신과 제랄레논이 가장 빈번하게 검출되는 오염양상이 유사하였다. 가장 빈번하게 검출수준이 국내기준(최대기준)을 초과한 곰팡이독소는 제랄레논이었고 다음은 데옥시니발레놀과 아플라톡신 순이었다. 그러나 대부분의 오염수준은 각 곰팡이독소의 최대기준 미만이었다. 이 결과는 보리, 쌀, 옥수수, 수수, 기장, 율무 등이 다른 곡류에 비해 곰팡이독소 오염에 취약하며 따라서 이들 농산물의 지속적인 모니터링과 안전관리가 필요함을 보여준다.
