Detection of the Mycotoxin T۲ Produced by Fusarium spp. in Some local Cereal Products and Studying Its Phenotypic Characteristics in Baghdad City

The greatest dangerous trichothecene generated through Fusarium spp., mainly F. sporotrichioides, is T-۲ toxin. T-۲ toxin is an environmental pollutant that really can cause a considerable illnesses and even death in humans and animals. It can be found in a range of farm products. The goal of the current study was to use high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to analyze T-۲ mycotoxin in cereal samples that contained (≥۱ppm). This is Iraq's first HPLC-based T-۲ toxin analysis investigation. Baghdad City's local markets took a total of ۲۰ commonly produced cereal product tests and rated them. T-۲ toxin presented for ۴۰% of cereal products, with the greatest amount identified in a sample of flour corn was ۱.۹ ppm. In comparison with the volume of produced specimens, the incidence of toxin-contaminated specimens is not very low.
