The present work aims to evaluate the presence of mycotoxins in talkan, a cereal-based food commonly consumed by the Turkic population. The presence of mycotoxins was investigated in a total of 50 samples obtained from Kazakhstan. After a preliminary screening using various ELISA kits, mycotoxins were confirmed and quantified by HPLC-MS/MS method. More than 28% of the samples were positive for at least one mycotoxin. The calculated probably daily intake for adults and children was 20% above the tolerable daily intake for aflatoxin B1 and deoxynivalenol, while it was above 100% for zearalenone, indicating a high risk for the Kazakh population. A total of 12 samples exhibited concentrations above the European maximum level for ochratoxin A, zearalenone and deoxynivalenol, however, these values were within the limits established by the Russia-Kazakhstan-Belarus Customs Union (TR CU 015/2011).}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Occurrence of mycotoxins in talkan: a cereal-based food traditional for Turkic population}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/106874/PDF/12.pdf}, doi={10.24425/122602}, keywords={food-contamination, corn, fungi, HPLC-MS/MS, Kazakhstan}, }
