Influence of water activity on deoxynivalenol accumulation in wheat

The influence of water activity (aw) on deoxynivalenol accumulation in wheat at 25°C was studied. Gnotobiotic grains were conditioned at different aw levels, inoculated with a toxigenic Fusarium graminearum strain, and incubated for ten weeks. The highest accumulation of deoxynivalenol (1130 μg/kg)...

Vaamonde, Graciela The influence of water activity (aw) on deoxynivalenol accumulation in wheat at 25°C was studied. Gnotobiotic grains were conditioned at different aw levels, inoculated with a toxigenic Fusarium graminearum strain, and incubated for ten weeks. The highest accumulation of deoxynivalenol (1130 μg/kg) was detected at aw 0.980. At aw 0.945 and 0.925 the maximum quantities of toxin accumulated were 113 μg/kg and 93 μg/kg respectively. Deoxynivalenol was not detected in the substrate at aw 0.900. Results suggest that intermediate aw levels (0.97-0.92) are particularly critical at post harvest time because those are conditions under which deoxynivalenol production is most likely to be initiated naturally.
