produced by different species of fungi. The main relevant
species occurring on cereals are Penicillium sp., Fusarium
sp. and Aspergillus sp. The fungal contamination can
either occur on the field or during storage. Estimations
are given that approximately 25% of all crops are
contaminated with mycotoxins. The type and amount of
contamination varies with climate conditions. As the
contamination can result in serious health issues, mycotoxin
analysis is an important part of routine food
