Abstract

A comparative study on the natural occurrence of Fusarium toxins was done with 47 corn and 30 wheat samples collected in 1989 from Linxian and Shangqiu Counties in Henan Province, People's Republic of China, high- and low-risk areas, respectively, for esophageal cancer. Three trichothecenes (deoxynivalenol [DON], 15-acetyldeoxynivalenol [15-ADON], and nivalenol [NIV]) and zearalenone (ZEA) were detected in corn samples, and DON, NIV, and ZEA were found in wheat samples. Compared with Shangqiu corn, the incidence and mean level of DON in Linxian were 2.4 and 5.8 times higher, respectively, and those of 15-ADON were 16.3 and 2.6 times higher, respectively. The incidence and level of trichothecenes in wheat samples were significantly lower than those in corn. However, the level of DON in Linxian wheat was 3.3 times higher than in Shangqiu wheat. This is the first report indicating a significant difference in the natural occurrence of Fusarium toxins in main staple foods between high- and low-risk areas for esophageal cancer in the People's Republic of China.
