Working with Hard Red Winter Wheat, we took samples at 0 days and comparing it with 30 days under conditions of 30% Relative humidity and 10 Celsius, we detected reductions as lower as 3ppm of DON. I want to ask if DON could be transformed in masked mycotoxin (deoxynivalenol‑3‑β‑d‑glucoside) during this process.
The first thing to control is the sampling, when here mistakes are done, they can be easily responsible for the difference. The transformation was studued mostly in plants,, but I do not know rewsultst that searched the DON-glycosyde change between beginning and later stages of the storage. From harvested grains many data occur, but the fiels or storage synthesis is mostly not known. This is a good idea to search. When yoe put this question to Franz Berthiller, IFA, Tulln, Austria, yoe can have maybe better answer.
